The Pancake Secret

Every morning at 7 AM, I make pancakes for my kids. Sometimes I bake fresh bread too but bread dough rested in the fridge for two days. But the pancake is the star. It’s super spongy, moderately thick, and recently when I ask my kids to rate it from 1 to 10, they say: 100.

The ingredients? Simple. Flour, milk, egg, vanilla extract, sugar, salt.
I’ve shared them many times with wife and friends who asked.
I’ve explained the method , pre-hot pan, quick flip. No magic!

But no one else seems to be able to offer the same taste to kids.

So what’s the secret?

Let’s slow down and go deeper. It’s not just the recipe. It’s not just the heat. It’s not even the flip.
It’s the experience mixed with passion.

It’s making pancakes every single day.
It’s the feedback loop, tiny daily experiments.
Less sugar. More rest. New pan. Lower flame. Different mixing order.
It’s the joy in asking my kids for their rating. And tweaking to reach their version of “100.”

The secret is iteration, not invention.
It’s not the ingredients. It’s the intention.
Focus. Passion. Feedback. Love.

That’s what makes a pancake unforgettable.
