Neighborhood Eats: Giant pancakes

It's the home of the super-sized pancake.

Milan Pavlovic makes people happy with food, enormous quantities of food.

It may be some of the largest portions you've ever seen.

He opened the Country Pancake House and Restaurant in Ridgewood in 1992, and for many it's a destination.

The pancakes are popular due to their size. They need two spatulas just to flip them.

The dry ingredients for most of his pancakes consists of flour, sugar, baking powder and soda, a little salt and buttermilk powder.

The wet ingredients are buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla and apple juice.

The wet and dry are combined, and it's onto the griddle.
