Pancakes

I'm an adult. So, errrr.... that means I'm allowed to have pancakes for dinner once in a while, right? Let's all say that I'm just trying to recreate the magic of brunch night.

Do I even need to write the recipe for this? Combine 1.5 cups of flour, 2 T sugar, 3 t baking powder (NOT baking soda... I made that mistake once, and you end up with pancakes that taste inexplicably like burnt pretzels), 1 t salt. Add in a liquids mixture of 1 beaten egg, 1.25 cups of milk, 3 T butter, and one capful of an ingredient that -- for "family recipe" reasons -- I'm not supposed to divulge, but is probably pretty obvious. Mix  until smooth, cook in a frying pan initially coated with just a bit of melted butter.

Speaking of tonight's dinner, here's something I stumbled upon a while back... before clicking this link ask yourself which you honestly think is flatter: Kansas or a pancake? The second-to-last sentence crowns the winner thus:  "That degree of flatness might be described, mathematically, as “damn flat.”"

Verdict: pancakes are awesome; what more need I say?
