We have a large teflon griddle that I've always made pancakes on. Until recently. When I discovered the joy of cast iron skillet cooking and seasoning. (I found my skillet at a thrift store, brand new, for $9 and have been using it almost daily ever since for all sorts of different foods.) The edges of pancakes cooked this way are crispy heavenly scrumptious. Place a little butter in the skillet before you drop the batter, and my oh my, mouths in your house will be mega pleased with the results. Which will cause them to be (eerily) quiet as they satisfy their hunger by savoring your fine culinary skills, raving (on the inside, because they would not dare talk with mouths full of deliciousness!) about the extraordinary mother they get to call their very own. And you just can not put a price tag on those few moments of exquisite peace.
**Happiness is found in cast iron** I'm sure of it.
