• Bigger work floor – We will simply make 4 to 6 pancakes at a time versus two or three in our largest pan on the stovetop.

I like the crispy edge it produces from the melted butter and oil within the scorching pan. The crispy edge paired alongside the fluffy inside is how I outlined pancakes rising up, so this technique will all the time get an A+ from me. 🙂
