What does pancakes taste like?

Chef's answer
They also contain a slightly salty taste, but that doesn't mean you should skip the salt. If you skip it, you'll miss it. Same goes for sugar. It's not about the sweetness so much as it is the crystallization that creates crispiness at the edges of your pancakes (although it is a little bit about the sweetness).
