Alexis Ohanian, a tech entrepreneur and husband of Serena Williams, often gives fans a glimpse into his life as a devoted ‘girl dad’. One of his most beloved weekend rituals is making pancakes with his daughters, especially Olympia. In a recent conversation, Ohanian shared how seriously he takes this bonding time, even if the results aren’t always about flavor.
“With pancakes, they taste okay. They are not the best possible tasting. Why? Part of it’s the consistency. To make them in the squeeze bottle, to make the art I want them to make, they can’t be too fluffy,” Ohanian said.
“Because as they expand, they start to distort the image. So basically the pancake batter that I make doesn’t taste great. It tastes fine but Olympia doesn’t know any better. She just thinks that’s what pancakes look and taste like,” he added.
Ohanian’s commitment deepened when he saw Olympia’s genuine interest in his pancake art.
“The fact that she showed any interest in my pancake art meant I need to be the best pancake artist I can. Oh, my baby likes crepes, those are just skinny pancakes. Papa can make those too. So then I get a commercial-grade crepe thing and I perfect the batter. I got it from a French grandmother. I am fanatical. If she shows an interest, I am becoming the expert,” he further said.
The 42-year-old father’s dedication to creating pancake art may not result in the tastiest breakfast, but for him, it’s about the joy it brings his daughter Olympia.
