Butter Olive Oil Pancakes – Evoolution
In medieval Europe, they used lard. Pig fat. That’s why your grandma’s pancakes tasted like a barn. In a good way.
Modern science tip: a hot pan causes the Maillard reaction. That’s the browning magic. Butter and oil both trigger it, but butter’s amino acids add extra flavor molecules. You’re literally eating chemistry.
Also, never use olive oil. It’s gross. It tastes like a salad invading your breakfast. Just don’t.
