Just add water it says
Whenever anyone asks’ me if I’ve ever cooked, I arrogantly laugh aloud. I can do this because I have skillfully mastered the art of Pop Tart toasting. Surprisingly some of you may not know this, but not only can I make delicious pop-able treats, I also am very experienced in the field of Ramon Noodles, Microwave Popcorn and Chicken Nuggets.
What’s that? Yes, I agree. Im quite the seasoned cook. I’ve prepared many bachelor meals in my day but there is one that I have not yet conquered; And that would be “Aunt Jemima’s Classic: Just Add Water Pancake Mix”. Yes, a daring task. Tricky but possible.
Im excited to announce to my readers (all 4 of you) that tomorrow morning, at approximately 9:30am I will be attempting to mix my very first batch of griddle cakes from scratch the box. Although this has never been done by a professional such as myself, I’m quite confident that I could pull it off (I think). With me will be my trusty helper, my younger cousin Tee-Ann, who will bravely assist with the necessary procedures.
A few nights ago I had a friend over who made me the most delicious pancakes you’ll ever taste. Almost brought tears to my eyes as I devoured the beautiful light and fluffy patties.
So with that, wish me luck and if you want, join me (from the comfort of your own home). I’ll feel your presence in spirit.
Pancakes From Scratch
- 1 cup flour (or ‘flower’ if your that dumb)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon sugarSift them together.
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon cooking oil or butterMix in thoroughly, until smooth. Heat a (preferably nonstick) pan to a bit more than medium heat.
Pancakes cool quickly, so it might be good to keep them on a warmed plate while you finish the batch.
Pour in puddles the size of your palm. When the edges are ready, flip the pancake. When the flipped pancake begins to arch upward a bit, them suckers are ready to take off.
Serve immediately with syrup, honey or a fried mouse. Its your choice.
FUN FACT: Pancakes make you go to the potty! Who knew?
