Flipping Flapjacks With Ollie

My 4-year-old nephew's been visiting and he loves to help in the kitchen, especially when it comes to one of his favorite breakfast foods. Who doesn't love a stack of pancakes?

The other day, he helped me load ingredients into a blender and got a real kick out of pulsing the motor until it went from a mix of flour, buttermilk, baking powder, baking soda, a smidge of salt and sugar into batter. It's a great recipe.

We cooked that tangy stuff on a new T-fal giant pancake griddle sample I received to test. It's so cool because it's got a Thermo-spot, that turns color, indicating when it's preheated. Slick!

It truly was nonstick, didn't even use a drop of oil when cooking those pancakes. It lived up to its "giant" description, accomodating six small pancakes each batch. Or, just the right size serving for a little boy with a big appetite.

Next up, a lesson in making and baking buttermilk biscuits!
