Pancakes!

I am certain lots of people are very familiar with pancakes and their simplicity, but for myself, I have recently gotten into it. A few weeks ago I was asked to make some pancakes. For a variation took a shot at using:
  • Banana (over ripe)
  • Strawberry (Hershey's syrup)
  • Orange (juice)
  • Vanilla (extract)
After that, it was the usual eggs, flour, sugar, and baking soda. Not too much extra sugar, and only enough flour to make a batter think enough that it left coarse lines in the surface when stirred / mixed.

This past weekend, morning of one of the barbecues, tried something different...
  • Egg Nog
  • Chocolate Chips
  • Barbados Rum
  • Vanilla Extract

In hind sight, despite being DELICIOUS, I am going to need to try the recipe again without the chocolate, since it was quite overwhelming. The batter was scary wonderful.

And guess what! They really didn't need syrup. Believe that?

Anyone else come up with bizarre pancake ideas? Leave a comment.

Anyway, enjoy! More to come tomorrow.
