Vintage Lace Pantycakes

Can you possibly resist a recipe called "Pantycakes"?

Not me.

I'm intrigued by this recipe from the April 1951 issue of Gourmet (sorry - wrong cover, but that one's vanished). I also like the cooking directions; this is the most accurate discussion of the importance of having the griddle at the correct temperature that I've seen.  Really makes a difference with pancakes - and very difficult to describe.
