World's Largest Pancake Griddle

I ate this thing! The batter was mixed in a (clean) cement mixer, and poured into the griddle (I think it had a metal lip) and heated over a large fire pit. When it was time for flipping, a matching-sized griddle was placed and secured on top and the thing was flipped with a crane. The "pancake" was more like a 4 inch tall square of cake, served with syrup.
