I love the homey tone of "allow to sit," "Keep warm in everyday company" and "whatever else strikes your fancy." Especially since they can refer equally to pancakes and people. I didn't latch onto "before each pour over bottom" - I'd like a specific noun to picture (each what on bottom of what?)

I'd agree that the second sentence trips me. Also that there is a period after once and fancy but not company although Roll is capitalized…hard to know without your original why that is but it bugged my OCD (or as I sometimes call it my ACDC, no wait that's my ADHD)

I like the end and beginning a lot.

Thanks for your comments, everyone. I tweaked it a bit. Not sure there's much else to do with these except try a new one.
