Re: [CnD] pancakes

Hi, Kim, I've been making pancakes since Junior High; I learned at the School for the Blind in California. I made them on a griddle heated on a gas stove. My teacher taught me to feel the top of a pancake looking for breaking bubbles. When I felt bubbles of batter break, I flipped the pancake.
