pancakes fresh and warm

Some old fashioned habits are very usefull.

When I was young my mom made pancakes and one after another was put on a plate until she had a tower with plat pancaked.
Those at the bottom were strangely compressed and flat, and they didn't taste well anymore.

Yesterday one of the women I baked pancakes with too a huge soup pan and taught me how to keep the pancakes warm and looking fresh.

When a pancake was ready she made a roll of it and put it standing up in the pan.
Loads of them could stay in there and there was only place for one other role on top.
Because the bottom layer consisted of pancakes leaning against each other, leaving no room to topple over, the second layer didn't push them together.

Very clever!!!
