Gooooood Morning Riddle Masters!

As the grandkids would say, TGIF! (Thank Goodness It's Friday!). We love our Friday's because we get to give you lot the third and final riddle of the week, so let's get straight into it, shall we?

Baker, Fred Floury has invented a method of slicing a pancake into eight equal pieces, with only three straight knife strokes. How does he do it?

We think this one is a head scratcher, but let's see how you folks go eh?

As always, a 'spoiler' button will hide yours and others' answers. To reveal those answers simply click the 'spoiler' button, but do your best not to cheat! Even just trying to crack the riddle is good for your brain!

So good luck Ladies and Gents, and Happy Riddle-ing!
Cut it in half, then put one half on top of the other and cut in half, then put the quarters on top of one another and cut in half

Fold the pancake in half
 
First cut in two halves then put both halves above each other and make a cut making four pieces
Place these four pieces one above other and cut them to make eight equal pieces.
 
Fold it in half, cut in half,fold in half again and cut in half, lay each half on top of each other and cut in half again
 
Cut the pancake in half across the middle. Stack the two halves one on top of the other and cut in half again.
Stack the four pieces on top of each other and cut in half again, giving eight pieces.
 
Cut it in half, flip one half on top of the other and cut in half again. Stack the quarters on top of each other and make a final diagonal cut to make 8 equal pieces.
 
1: Horizontal knife cut between top and bottom = 2 pieces.
2: Place the slices together and cut both into thirds = 8.
 
Cut pancake in half stck the two halves on top of each other cut in half again stack pices on top of each oter and cut in half again

Use two cuts to get 4 pieces or quarters then make a stack of 4 and then cut down through them all which will make 8 pieces.
