As you can see all of our folks at Wild Deuce like adventure....here is Rachel whitewater rafting in Jasper! She just sent me a recipe for pancakes. Here it is....
I hope that everyone enjoyed my chili tips. It is now well afternoon and time to head out for more ingredients. You will also need to stop by the local establishment of "fine mind fuddling, attitude adjusting beverages". Of course they will have no tequila left so you will have to buy for my next recipe!
PERFECT PANCAKES! I suggest beer of any kind, lots of it and don't be a wuss and buy light! IT'S ALL IN THE MIX: be it your own or store bought. Open two cans of beer, have the rest on hand, not to far away as you are going to need to test them. Than combine the dry ingredients thoroughly. Break up any lumps by either sifting them or whisking them out, this is back breaking work so DO NOT become dehydrated, refresh with beer. Next combine all the wet ingredients in a seperate bowl. Don't skip this step! Yeah I know it makes more dishes but it's worth it. Use beer instead of milk or water. This will foam up like Mt. St Helens, so I suggest you whisk quick. DO NOT be tempted to suck off the suds, taste awful. Never tried it but have been told!
HOW TO COOK THE PANCAKE! Pre-heat your griddle, heavy bottomed (no not me ya idiot..)
not stick pan or very seasoned cast iron skillet to 375 degree's or 185 C. Or until a drop of water skitters across the pan (thats for all of you that cook over the fire...smile). And because you have just slaved away at cutting, stacking and making the fire another wee tip...use Diesal. Terri is not allowed to use it anymore. another story. You must be very thirsty by now, so go ahead chug another beer. Lightly coat the pan with vegetable oil, spray or butter (but butter will burn quicker.) Do a test with sacrificial pancake and adjust the temp up or down. If your pancake is scorched on the outside and raw in the middle, turn down the heat. smile. NOTE: as the head chef you might have to eat the test subject. Or not, I suggest opening another beer and than finding someone else to try it or a border collie, but don't get caught throwing it out to the dogs.
DON'T PRESS YOUR PANCAKES! While your waiting impatiently for the 2nd one to cook , resist the impulse to grab yer spatula and press it. Take a break, refresh your self, you should have plenty of beer around. Pressing will un-do all the efforts you have made to make light fluffy pancakes. SO DON'T!
FUN WITH PANCAKES! To add a bit of whimsy to the breaksfast table, use a turkey baster to squeeze designs, intials or other fun shapes. Ah and you thought I was going to talk about sex again..tut tut! Butter and syrup are the classic toppings but you could set up a condiment buffet of fruits and cream or jam. And let everyone play with their own pancake....don't let you mind off course here. Try one of my personal toppings, hard sauce (1/2 lb of real butter, 4 tbsp of brown sugar whip until fluffy, keep beating and add 1/2 cup of whiskey (drink the other half) chill and serve. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmm!
