Pancakes

This pancake day was my first time making pancakes, ever. EVER!
Yes I had never made a pancake before so it seemed like a good time to try.

Anyway I began, not really reading the instructions just kind of shoving everything in to the bowl in random orders and whisking occasionally. This didn't work,
I only worked this out when I was about half way through and glanced over at the recipe book... The lumps in the mixture were also a good sign...

In order to fix this without having to start all over again (wasting 4 eggs in the process) the electric whisk came out. And after a few jooshes (no it is not a word, I am well aware of that) it was normal pancake mix again.

I left it for a few hours then began to cook them.

The first one to quote my brother looked like "wet scrambled eggs"... when were scrambled eggs dry?
But the point is it looked awful and it wasn't cooked enough.

So I tried again. After a few attempts with the pancakes being too thick, burnt or under cooked, they began to work.

So 30 pancakes later they were normal pancakes. I couldn't flip them, but I'll save that for next year.


Sorry there is no picture. You know what pancakes look like...
