Ingredients:
- Your favorite pancake recipe or one of our family favorites:

- Trim Healthy Mama Pancakes
- Fluffy Whole Wheat Pancakes
- Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat, or an electric griddle to 375°F. Lightly grease with tallow, coconut oil, or avocado oil.
- The surface is ready when a few drops of water dance across the griddle and quickly disappear.
- Prepare your favorite pancake batter according to the recipe directions.
- Carefully pour the batter onto the griddle, forming the letters D-A-D. Use a spoon or squeeze bottle for more control if desired.
- Cook until the edges begin to look dry and bubbles form on the surface.
- Flip carefully and cook until golden brown.
- Serve warm with butter, syrup, fresh berries, or Dad’s favorite toppings.
- Enjoy!
