In Kerhinet, we do not laugh with pancakes. This Sunday noon, the members of the association “Les Métais” established a new record for the largest pancake in the world: 7.40 meters. The recipe makes you dizzy: 55 liters of milk, 300 eggs, 30 kilos of flour and 6 kilos of butter for 111 liters of pancake batter.
And who says giant pancake, says giant frying pan. Gilles Le Gentil, president ofthe association of Metais, can’t believe it _”_It has been something to transport it, it weighs more than two tons! We had to be careful with the bridges and the electric wires. It’s impressive.”
three cooks suspended for 30 minutes above the pan spread the dough using a rozell, a sort of small pancake rake. Then, the fire is lit under this huge pan for cooking for about 5 minutes. “On the other hand, impossible to return it” smiles Gilles Le Gentil.
