Pancakes

If it seems like I’ve disappeared, dear readers, it’s because concocting this perfect recipe required utter isolation for weeks on end.

If it seems like I’m silly, it’s because I’m running on two hours of sleep and am due at the bus stop six minutes ago.

The no flax seed, apple sauce, ener-G, banana, or other silly egg replacement vegan pancakes
makes 12 4-5″ discs o’ goodness
Ingredients

• 1½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour, sifted or at least sprinkled into the measuring cup by hand, because if you don’t it’s gonna be like WHOA inaccurate measurement
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ kosher salt (or a wee pinch of regular salt)
• ¾ to 1 cup rice milk — I use a full cup, but i like my batter thin
• 1/3 cup oil or melted margarine, plus a bit for the pan
• Optional fun stuff: good handful of chocolate chips, blueberries, or whatever makes you happy.

1. Mix the dry ingredients.
2. Add the wet ingredients.
3. Stir just enough to get a dumpy-lumpy batter.
4. Cook up some pancakes! (Medium-high flame + cast iron skillet/griddle + little bit of cooking fat + scant ¼ cup batter. Flip when sides look dry and bubbles on top have become little holes.)
5. Yell “pancakes are ready!” and renew the bonds with your family, friends, roommates, and anyone else who happens to be around.
