Veteran pancake-maker Brock Tumbleson confidently poured batter from a two-liter plastic pitcher forming about a dozen plate-sized pancakes onto a circular, rotating grill.
“You can get about 16 large pancakes from one pitcher,” Tumbleson said, who has learned a thing or two about the art of making pancakes over the last 40 years.
