Anybody else?

Ok I've gotten some weird looks over the years when I asked people this, but does anybody else on here like "fried" pancakes?

My mom always made the batter thin(ish)but not watery, got the iron skillet hot with a little oil in it, poured batter in, and when she would flip it she would give it a little smash with spatula which made the edges splatter out a little and get crispy. Those crispy edges, soft middle, with hot syrup on them should be illegal!! I don't make them often because I could eat them until I'm sick, but when I do I take advantage. It has taken me a long time to get them almost as good as my mom's but I about got it down now.

Anybody else eat them like this?

To be honest, I didn't know there was any other way to cook a pancake.
Wife would kill me if I poured the batter into the toaster...

This makes me think I've been using some weird pancake method my whole life. I thought the above described was just known as "the way"

Lol same here I guess. The first time my wife made me pancakes when we were dating years ago I had to break the bad news to her that the 2 round fluffy disc like creations she put on my plate didn't look right. I poked one with a fork and it deflated halfway. Never again.

Making some for dinner lol

I had no idea there was any other way. Growing up we had a huge electric skillet and we would do like 30 silver dollar sized with the crispy edges all at once

Never was big on pancakes, always "ho cakes" and fried "pones" on our table. Topped with pure cane syrup of course They do look good though

Have always used electric skillet here, don't guess I ever thought much about any other or possibly better way to make them.
