PANCAKE LOGIC

A Wizard at Work

To the average person a pancake is a pancake and nothing more. Not so to Mr. George Crowder, the pancake genius, who has just come from Paris to London to take up a post in a, London grill-room. On the trolley which he wheels about from table to table may be seen sundry silver dishes, many bottles and a spirit lamp. With these he can make about 30 kinds of pancake. Here are the names of some of them: Crepe Alsaeieune, Madeleine, Belle Dame, Pere

Cbartreux, Bar-le-Duc, Parisienne, Benedictine, A la Russe, Creole, Romaine, Jeanette, Simone, Marcelle and Tangerine. The secret of Mr. Crowder’s art is the cunning additions he makes to the ordinary recipe of sugar, milk, cream and the rest. A little creme patissiere. a few grilled almonds, a trifle of pistache—perhaps a little champagne brandy. Such are the trifles which turn the plain pancake into a dish for epicures.—Reuter —Special to "The Dominion.”
