Because his family is a true-to-the-bone pancake family, I really wanted him to share with me the secrets to making a good pancake, thin and delicate, perfectly browned on the outside, soft on the inside.

I followed it to a tee, and sure enough, the pancakes came out the way I had always dreamed they would.
