Description
At its heart, this recipe is a creative reimagining of the traditional pancake. Instead of pouring large rounds of batter onto a griddle, you utilize a precision technique—usually a squeeze bottle or a piping bag—to create dots of batter no larger than a coin. These tiny morsels cook rapidly, resulting in a high surface-area-to-volume ratio that gives you more of those delicious crispy edges in every single bite.
