In fact, they practically reward you for being lazy! But just like other simple foods like grilled cheese sandwiches, there’s always room for improvement, but you need to know where to start. They’re fast! They’re easy! And most importantly, they’re the perfect hangover food because they require little-to-no coordination. Pancakes are fucking fantastic.
