I've been on a pancake roll as of late. It all started when I felt adventurous at the grocery store and snagged a carton of coconut milk to drink, and then discovered that I don't much like to drink the stuff, as if it were soy or almond milk. Plus I looked at the nutritional facts after getting home--what is with the saturated fat content? I did some research online and apparently it's not the "bad kind" of saturated fat (but I thought saturated fat in and of itself was the "bad" type of fat?). If you couldn't tell already, I am certainly no nutritionist, but seeing that a cup of the stuff gives 20% DV of makes me uneasy.
But I digress. The blessing in disguise was that an overload of coconut milk prompted me to make batches and batches of pancakes on end. You can simply make enough servings for a week, refrigerate them, and pull two out each morning to pop in the microwave for instant gratification. Imagine (the aforementioned process) x (three weeks). Which equals a happy Amy.
Brace yourself for the best photo montage ever.
Left: my complicated and professional pancake-making setup. Nevertheless, somehow cooking pancakes is an inevitably messy process for me i.e. batter gets all over the counter, stove, and nearby walls. Middle: pancake on da griddle! Right: end product.
Left: Tray ready for refrigeration. I thought I would mimic the chef at Jodie's and stab the pancakes while they cooked for a reason unknown. Except Asian-style, as clearly I used chopsticks instead of a knife. Top- and bottom-right: yummy brekkies.
Of course, I can't devote an entire post to pancakes without giving up the recipes: so far, I've made Flax Pancakes, Coconut Pancakes, and Whole Grain Pancakes. I may have tweaked the recipes the slightest bit while cooking just because I have to be a rebel, but definitely not enough to warrant my own "Recipes" tab. Yet...
