Making The Cut

Sun­day morn­ing, and time for me, Chef Daddy, to make a pan­cake break­fast for the kid­dos. With lit­tle ones, one of the chal­lenges of pan­cakes is cut­ting them up in smaller pieces so the kids can eat them with­out mak­ing a mess. Truth be told I like them that way too. Here is a sim­ple tip for quickly and eas­ily cut­ting pan­cakes up into per­fect pieces. Use your pizza cutter.

The pizza cut­ter is safer & eas­ier than using a knife and less messy than attempt­ing tear them apart by hand. With its round blade, the pizza cut­ter is one of the most under-utilized kitchen tools, prob­a­bly because its name implies what it is sup­posed to be used to cut.  From slic­ing pizza and pan­cakes to trim­ming the crusts off of sand­wiches and cut­ting up que­sadil­las, make meal time eas­ier by reach­ing for the pizza cutter.

And now… pan­cake time.
