Pancakes, nom nom nom...
Ever since that pancake post a few weeks ago, I've been craving pancakes. Not even Norwegian pancakes in particular, just pancakes in general---this cespite the fact that my previous attempts at pancakes have been less than successful.
Since the urge wouldn't go away, I got a little jar of pancake mix at Aldi. Had it for a week before the yen became unbearable. This morning, I finally got to the point where nothing but pancakes would do. Not fried eggs, not bread and honey---no, it HAD to be pancakes.
Thinking it over and remembering my mother's ambrosial pancakes, I added a capful of vanilla extract to the water before pouring it into the mix. To give it a little more kick, I added a few shakes of cinnamon and a dash of ginger to the mix before I added the water.
Apparently, I've cultivated some culinary prowess since my last attempt at pancakes. They were neither burned nor runny, and they didn't taste like nasty lumps of fried flour, either.
I added dabs of butter to each as the second side was cooking, and drizzled a bit of Aldi honey over them. Quite tasty! Mind you, the additives were barely noticable, but I can up the spices a bit next time.
