6. The first pancakes are the sacrificial pancakes which are fed to the doggos!

I make pancakes from scratch on Sunday mornings. (Joy of Cooking recipe)

SweetPea is always waiting at the kitchen door for her pancakes! 🥞 🐕
She can smell them from upstairs!

7. Old saying that floated around my family about pancakes...

“Kids are like pancakes, the first one just seasons the pan, throw it out”

Thankfully I’m a middle kid.

9. My older sis hated that saying...

12. Here's a helpful hint

To get that perfect 1st pancake.


Heat the pan or griddle up on a low to medium heat while mixing the batter. Keep in mind that all stove tops cook differently.


After mixing the batter, test the heat of the pan by placing a drop of water onto the cooking surface. Once it sizzles, place a pat of butter on the surface and let melt onto the surface.


Pour the desired amount of batter onto the cooking surface and take the time to let the edges turn a tad brown with bubbles.

Once that happens, flip that bad boy over and it cook throughly. The rest of the pancakes will follow the perfect 1st pancake.

Happy cooking!
