The pancakes you get in restaurants seem to be much thinner and don't have any brown marks so I guess they are made by a machine, but these taste just as good with crispy duck. The only improvement to recipe I can think of is that I roll out the dough to about .5cm (about 1/4 inch) then use a medium sized cookie cutter. That way they are all the same size and roll out much more consistently.

These were okay, I don't know how you are suppose to have these so I made them for breakfast. I really like the process of these as they are way different from normals ones! They didn't have much flavor, as they were just water and flour, but when I ate them, I put some banana yogurt on top with grapes. Thanks for the recipe!
