  • This is the way my grandmother made pancakes. She died when I was 28, I'm 74 now and can still see them and taste them in my mind. She was an amazing cook, miss you grandma.

    Did those this morning: 1. Best pancakes I've ever had 2. My daughter declared me best dad in the world The prep time / cred ratio is unbeatable I think I'll be doing those once a week until I can no longer lift a pan

    Dad grew up on s.Dakota farm during depression. A fond memory is remembering when dad showed me how to make and tend pancakes. Going to have some pancakes this morning. Thanks. ☺

    0:09 - you missed an obvious pun there, John. "You're batter than that" Da-dum-tsch!

    Nothing says “”I really don’t love you that much like serving food on ice cold plates.”... words to live by. They won’t say it, but they’ll know. This is my new favorite video, Chef John.

    This recipe is so good!!! Just made them and they turned out amazing 🙌🏻 I added just 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract too I couldn’t help myself 🤣
  • This was my great-grandfather's recipe, which I learned from my mother. Classic indeed. Great Granddad called them "dough gods", which I do too, because that's what they are.

    My Dad liked a quick smear of peanut butter before the syrup...yum! He was from Texas!!

    It was almost exactly what I ate some sixty years ago, which my aunts made for me.  In those days, many American soldiers and their families were in Tokyo. Probably the recipe was from them.  Of course, I made it and I love it.  Thank you for the recipe.
  • The nostalgia I get watching this now. I (German born and raised) Made this for my husband(American born and raised) when he lived in Germany 10 years ago. Ver possible that this was partially why he married me even though he said he never wanted to marry again. I think it made his day then and I can’t wait to make them again now. Good old chef John old fashioned pancakes. :-) ❤

    My mother used to make pancakes like these. Your video made me tear up thinking of the good old days..Thanks People NEVER EVER use the spatula to flatten your pancakes.

    I just made these for dinner and they turned out amazing. The most perfect pancakes I've ever made and I've made a lot of pancakes as a mom of five.

    Adding Vanilla and almond flavoring to the mixture when whisking makes it have an wonderful flavor. 😘

  • @TheRiteThings
    A little 1/2 to1 tsp of vanilla extract in the batter is way good, it really bumps up the flavor, yum!
