Gastrography
Pancakes are one of about three things that my dad cooks like a pro, the others being spaghetti and omelets. And hash browns. Okay, he can basically cook delicious breakfasts and boil pasta.
When I went to college, I called my dad to get his pancake recipe one Sunday morning. I wrote it down carefully in my journal and cooked up a batch right away. They were awful! Thin like paper and completely flavorless. I tried again and again over the next few months, and they were always just terrible. Eventually, I called Dad again, asking why they were so bad. I read the recipe I had written down back to him. He quickly explained my problem: I had managed to write down every single measurement wrong. My pancakes have improved dramatically since then.
