Formula for perfect pancake unveiled by scientists.  (TIME FOR LIGHTHEARTED STUFF. ONCE)

 

1. Sugar and LEMON on pancakes? GROSS.

   1) get the butter out to soften

   2) mix up your batter. use a fork or a whisk, not a spoon.

   3) heat up a heavy iron skillet, and while still heating, brush on some oil

   4) choose your oil carefully. Corn oil or canola oil is best.

   5) use a spatula. Duh. Leave the skillet on the stove where it belongs.

   A superb pancake mix is the old Hansmans brand, now sold under the Buckhill Farms label:

   all you have to do is add water. Spring water works best, or tap water that has been in a pitcher overnight. Water should be cool, not ice cold.

   Slather pancakes with butter and your favorite maple syrup. I like the light amber stuff the best, but it’s often hard to find. Vermont trees seem to make better syrup somehow.

   The perfect ratio is 1.5 pancakes: 1 strip of bacon: 1 breakfast sausage: 3/4 egg: 2 oz orange juice: 2 oz strong coffee. Thus a proper pancake breakfast is 1 12oz mug of coffee, 1 12 glass of OJ, 3 eggs, 4 sausages, 4 strips of bacon, 6 pancakes.

2. No ... not a pancake as we know em.

   Really thin, float on air (not quite) and not much lemon. But butter and sugar. It surprised me first time I had it, how good that was.

   Here I am rebooting cause I’m PO’d at the Times, somethin crawled inside tummy and died and I’m talking about food and lip smackin stuff. Ouch.
   Can’t wait for breakfast. Wife did weekly shop this morning and just happened to buy fresh bacon too.
   Stomach really hurts. I shouldn’t be reading this stuff. lol
