I wasn't aware putting syrup on pancakes
after cutting them was even an option. Everytime pancakes are pictured on menus or advertisements they always have syrup applied
before slicing for consumption occurs.
Post-cut syrup application is a new and groundbreaking technique to me. I am looking forward, and dare I say excited to try this for the first time.
After the initial syrup application, I took a largely ad-hoc approach to adding more as needed. This was to accommodate for variables in saturation rates and permeability differences between the first, and subsequent underlying layers. This requires a degree of timely precision due to wide temperature dependent fluctuations in syrup viscosity, However, this more nuanced, subjective approach, requires a high attention to detail. Often, this level of oversight is not practical due to the demands of the modern dining environment. As a result, equitable syrup distribution, and degree quality of pancake enjoyability is largely reduced. The reduction in enjoyability is even further compounded by distractions from any social interactions.
My main concern with pancakes is getting an even coating of butter between layers. This mostly consists of lifting one layer and inserting the contents of a full packet of butter (en-masse for room temperature, quartered for refrigerated packets). This new and revolutionary technique makes me think OUTSIDE the box in a somewhat literal sense. The implications of placing the contents of a butter packet on the plate itself underneath the first pancake are staggering.
The additional time needed to slice the pancakes, will without a doubt give them more of an opportunity to melt
and absorb more butter. This includes the added benefit of any mechanical action assisting in butter distribution.
After my next encounter with the food, I will return here to post my findings.
