My pancake urge!!

When I was back in the 514 last month a sudden urge hit me and it lingered with me all the way back to Brussels. I couldn’t shake it. I tried. I crepe you not, I tried. But it was stronger than me. I couldn’t resist and frankly, I was a fool for trying: I NEEDED PANCAKES!!!

Yup, PANCAKES!!! FLAPJACKS!! HOTCAKES!! God’s answer to the question: what is the breakfast of champions?

So yesterday morning for the December 5^th National Holiday we decided that pancakes were in order. Let me just say that they were awesome and filled the spot, perfectly.

Friends, in order to try to help you get the real pleasure of pancakes I have comprised a simple guide for the proper making of pancakes:

Step 1 - Scour the internet for a good pancake recipe or just use this one.

Step 2 - Prepare your ingredients and be properly dressed for pancake making (see adjoining picture for a better understanding of what to wear)

Step 3 - DO NOT OVERMIX YOUR INGREDIENTS!!! OVERMIXING WILL MAKE CREPES and that is just not the same!

Step 4 – Ensure that you have a proper flipping and catching technique for your pancake making.

Step 5- Place all pancakes on a plate and serve!!

Step 6 – Enjoy your pancakes.

So here’s the jonathanism for today: pancake making is a fun filled experience and should be done at a time when you have a chance to savour the experience. Don’t make pancakes if you’re in a rush. Making the pancakes is half the fun.
