A Pancake by Any Other Name...
Call them hotcakes. Griddle cakes. Pancakes. Whatever. Make them plain and traditional or fill 'em with fruit and drizzle with chocolate.
Pancakes have been around since the early 1400's. We know this because they're mentioned in early-day cookbooks. Besides, the Pancake Appreciation Society said so.
Join me as we travel the world and discover ninety-plus varieties of pancakes. Some will make your mouth water, and some might seem...well, let's just say these are not your momma's pancakes!

Pancake-Makin' Tip #1
Go easy on beating the batter. Mix just until dry ingredients are worked in. Otherwise you'll have blah pancakes. And who likes blah?
Artsy Pancakes
Pancakes that taste and look like art
Most of us can relate to buttermilk pancakes, or a stack of traditional pancakes like Grandma used to make. Here are some recipes that'll make your taste buds squeal. Try them and leave a note in my guestbook, telling me whether they were good.When I was a little girl, my mama would cut my pancakes in the shape of a wagon wheel. I continued the tradition with my kids and now with my grandkids. Flickr has a group called The Pancake Art Pool.. Here are some favorites. Drop by and view the whole collection.
I made these because I can't go to pretty pancake restaurant '

Chefs Whose Faces Appear on Pancakes
Okay, now I've seen it all.
Our favorite Food Network chefs (Bobby Flay, Paula Deen, and others) are celebs in a way they likely didn't anticipate. Their faces now grace the surfaces of (what else?) pancakes.
It's enough to make their mommas cry.
Check out the hoopla and don't be surprised if you feel inspired to create your own family pancake art.

Five Ways Kids Like Mini-Pancakes
Fix Saturday morning pancakes for your family...
I've never met a child who doesn't like pancakes, and even more so if you add extra goodies like chocolate chips, mashed bananas, or cranberries. Make them miniature and you'll never hear the end of it. Why?1. "Miniature" can be bite-sized or fist-sized, depending on their mood. Make them teeny-tiny, and suggest that your child create a design of concentric circles. No cutting necessary!
2. Stack minis like tiny towers. Top with whatever sounds yummy.
3. Freeze mini-pancakes in airtight bags for an after-school snack.
4. Take along a small zip-lock bag of minis for an easy on-the-go treat for toddlers.
5. Dress up a bowlful of mini-pancakes with cherry topping and whipped cream for a tasty dessert. Top with sliced almonds.
How 'bout THAT Pancake?
A pancake tortoise climbs over a rock...
The pancake tortoise is unlike most tortoises. Lightweight and agile, its shell is made up of lots of openings in its bony shell. It could easily be injured by predators tearing apart its sectional shell, so its main protection is its flexibility and speed.

Trivia for the Pancake-Challenged
Aunt Jemima Pancake Flour was the first mix to e sold commercially in 1889 from St. Joseph, Missouri.In 1986, an event that bills itself as the World's Largest Pancake Breakfast was revived for the 350th anniversary of Springfield, Massachusetts. The breakfast has been held every year since then. Hundreds of volunteers help with the event. In 1999, more than 71,233 servings of pancakes were served to more than 40,000 people. If you stacked up all those pancakes, they'd be more than 2 miles high!

Pancake Puzzler
Can you solve the brain teaser?
Ok...here's a little brain teaser to start your day.First, the problem:
1. A frying pan holds 2 pancakes.
2. Browning time:1 minute.
3. So, smartypants, how can you make 3 pancakes in 3 minutes?
Give up?
Here's what you'd do:
Pour two pancakes and brown the first side. Flip one of them, but take the second pancake off & pour the third. After another minute passes, remove the first pancake, flip the third, and put the second back on the grill. Cook both until golden brown.
See? Wasn't that easy?

When eating pancakes isn't enough...
"What's the big deal? Pancakes are just crepes on steroids."
Pancake-Makin' Tip #3
Give them room to breathe! Space pancakes so they don't touch each other. Leave them alone while they're cooking. And whatever you do, resist the urge to flip too soon.

Pancake-Makin' Tip #4
OK, so your pancakes look bubbly? Their edges are dry? Nice golden underside? Fine...
FLIP AWAY! Try to flip gently, though, or they'll end up stuck to your ceiling.

What now?
How to keep pancakes warm, you ask? Simple! Just layer them between dish towels. (Do I need to say "clean" dish towels?) Keep them warm in a 250-degree oven, but don't overdo. Ten minutes is about right, but longer will dry them out.
