"Not your typical pancake! One pancake will feed 2-3 people depending on their appetite. My kids love these with fresh fruit and vanilla yogurt on top instead of the usual maple syrup."

I had a little trouble with the cooking. It may be that I had the heat too high, but the bottom got very brown while the top was still liquid. So I flipped it a little early, but it seemed to puff up just fine. I don't understand the purpose of the chilling step. Does the batter need to be cold? Is the flour hydrating or some other chemistry going on? As written, the timing of this recipe is difficult for our lifestyle, since it does need to be serve immediately. It would be nice to know if refrigerating overnight, for example, would work. I think that you could use a small pan and make individual pancakes, which would offer a lot more flexibility than getting everyone to the table at the same time.
