The Pancake Pitfall

Pancakes are a breakfast staple, but they can also be a source of culinary disaster. One morning, a cook decided to make a batch of pancakes from scratch. They misread the recipe and used baking soda instead of baking powder, resulting in flat, bitter pancakes that no amount of syrup could save.

Additionally, they set the heat too high, causing the pancakes to burn on the outside while remaining raw inside. The end result: a stack of inedible, burnt pancakes.
