Pancakes are a classic breakfast food. Gluten free pancakes can now be found in the frozen food aisle of major grocery stores. Various mixes are also available. My preferred method for making pancakes is on the table top grill. The batter has to be perfect. Too runny, and it will roll right off. Too thick, and it won't cook through. Pancake dough should be less thick than cake, biscuit, or bread dough. It may also be sweeter. More liquid can be added as needed, as well as berries, or other flavorful treats. Homemade syrup is not covered in this cookbook.
