(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 24, 2003 ) It's National Pancake Week (March 2-8), and what better way to celebrate than learning how to make the perfect stackable treat? Ever since the invention of the griddle and fry pan, people have been flipping over the perfect pancakes.

Here's how to do it. First, heat the griddle until a drop of water dances on it. Make sure you don't make the batter too thick because this can lead to tough pancakes. When you see bubbles on top of the pancakes and the edges are slightly dry, it's time to flip. When steam stops rising, the pancakes are ready to stack. Lastly, don't flatten your pancakes with the spatula. They won't cook faster, and they'll lose their lightness. You might try a creative touch by pouring the batter in the shape of teddy bears, snowmen or puppies.

Pancakes are usually topped with maple syrup and butter for breakfast, but they can be served for lunch and dinner, too. Try sprinkling chili powder in with the batter. Then stuff them with chicken, salsa or cheese for a dinner the whole family will enjoy!
