We'll be serving everyone at once. It's for a family movie night at our church. My plan was to cook the pancakes on several electric griddles. I want to serve sausage and I think I'll do a scrambled dish as well. I am new at planning meals for such a large group. The kitchen does have 2 ovens. So I could hold the pancakes in them to keep them warm. I found a recipe for baked french toast too and I'm wondering if that might be easier. I really appreciate the advise. Thanks.

: Do you need to serve all 50 to 75 people at
: once? You can grill the cakes, and then
: place the hot cakes in the oven for a few
: minutes to allow the cooks to get ahead. If
: you work progressively, you can feed
: everyone in a relatively short time.
:
: With practice, you should be able to keep a
: steady amount of cakes coming off the
: griddle and flowing to the tables.
:
: What type of cooking equipment do you have?
: Flat-top griddle, skillets, cast iron
: griddles, etc.? We can give a more complete
: answer if you give us an idea of the
: equipment available to you.
