Foolish Waffles‘ chef/co-owner Robin Admana: I made pancakes with my father on many weekend mornings. His pancakes were super heavy and dense, so you could ever only eat one. He’d drizzle them with sweetened condensed milk [recipe here]. Here is my lighter, fluffier version that I now make for my family on holidays for brunch.
