If you’re a fat & fluffy pancake person, please continue to the next rec. If you like crepes but want the flavor of pancakes…. these are for you. Lucky for me, Alex and I have the same taste buds and food preferences. I am very thankful for that.
As a host, I've recently learned the power of a sheetpancake (sheetpan pancake). All of your 'slices' get an even bake and can be self served so everyone may eat at the same time. Utilitarian! You can fit in more toppings and (from my experience) the fruit cooks evenly in the oven unlike when it's dumped on a hot pan. Look, it isn't as 'glamorous' but, with sheetpancakes, you can spend time making the real stars of the show: Sides. (Eggs, omelettes, frittatas-- If you think it, you can make it.) Give it a try. If you hate it then, the next time you make a classic pancake, you'll be even more grateful for the arduous, thankless, experience. To paraphrase Ina Garten; 'My friends aren't going to have more fun if I spend extra time in the kitchen.'
I consider myself a moderate breakfast enjoyer. These pancakes rocked my world and I think of them at least once a week now.
