Those Yummy Pancakes

Spoon University

Adding cardboard to make a stack of pancakes plump and higher is not the only trick in the book. Notice how the syrup on the pancakes glisten forever? Well, this happens when they make the pancakes less porous, so that the syrup won’t be absorbed and stay on top longer. For this effect, the skilled food stylist uses Scotchgard, which is a water-repellent spray, to keep the syrup from being absorbed into the pancakes. No wonder it looks perfectly appetizing. And, since we are on the subject of pancakes and syrup, the syrup may not even be real syrup. It would not be surprising if they used motor oil instead. Ew!
