brunch: pancakes

I am proud to say that this is my own recipe ;D



Slowly getting better at flipping, slowly. Figured that the trick is to flip it really fast and in one fluid motion. No more jiggling the spatula under the pancake and slowly lifting it up. Also figured out that the optimal cooking time for side 1 is the time it takes to smear a stab of butter on the previously cooked one.

Pancakes
makes 7 palm sized pancakes

1 cup +more pancake mix (had a box sitting in my pantry, might as well use it)
1 cup milk
oats (quick or regular kind). Amount depends on your preference.
1 egg
1/8 cup butter, melted (this would be uhh...4-5tbsp?)
cinnamon, powdered ginger. Amount depends on your preference.

toppings:
strawberry, sugar, powdered sugar, maple syrup, whatever you fancy.

1. Soak the oats in the milk, this should be done overnight, but whatever time you have.
2. Mash the strawberries in a bowl with desired amount of sugar. "smosh, smosh, smosh"
3. Mix the milk, oats, egg, pancake mix, butter, cinnamon and ginger. Use your judgment, if the batter seems too runny, add more mix. I had to add about...1/4 cup more? The amount will depends on how much oat you added to the milk in step 1.
4. Let the mixture sit for a while. This makes the pancakes more fluffy.
5. Cook.
6. Top with the strawberry mush (doesn't that sound appetizing ;D), maple syrup, sugar, etc etc.
