Part 7/8:
With all components ready, it’s time to cook the pancakes. Using a griddle ensures even heat distribution for perfectly cooking the pancakes. Sam explains that they never flip the pancakes but rather use a salamander to finish cooking from above, maintaining the delicate texture and allowing for a beautiful golden color.
Each pancake is plated generously, topped with the compote, syrup, and finally a sprinkle of fresh lemon zest to brighten and enhance the flavor profile.
The Golden Diner Experience
As Sam takes his first bite of the finished product, he describes the burst of flavors—the floral notes from the lemon zest, the juicy texture of the berries, and the soft melt-in-your-mouth pancakes—this triumvirate of tastes harmoniously creates a memorable culinary experience.
