Pancakes: Sweet Comfort in a Gadget
Tuesday, February 15, 2005@ 1:00 AM
Somewhere in your life, there’s probably a comfort pancake.
Maybe it’s the chocolate chip pancakes your mother used to make, or your college diner’s dinner plate-size version, or a Korean scallion pancake.
For me, it was eierkuchen, a 10-inch, crepe-like, eggy German pancake that my mother (and her mother) made occasionally for supper. Close behind was my mother’s apple puff pancake, for which she covered sauteed apples with a thin batter and baked until it billowed up.
