I can cook a lot of things very well, but I sure do suck at making pancakes.
These were made from a package of Bob’s Red Mill 10 grain pancake mix, and for the record, they were delicious despite their rather bedraggled appearance.
This is inevitably what happens every time I try to make pancakes: First batch, put too much batter in and everything melds together…
Second try: teensy blini-sized cakes that fit in the pan and come out quite nice…
Third: We have enough pancakes ready to be eaten but there’s still batter leftover and I don’t want to wait around flipping pancakes when I could be eating….so I just make one giant one with what’s left…
Some day, I will remember to use two pans and make smaller cakes from the start. Until then, ragged cakes for Jeff and teeny blinis for me! (It’s fun to say teeny blini over and over, try it!)
We’re headed out in a few minutes to go get sushi with some friends, see ya later!
It happens to the best of us!
One of my tricks for pancakes, is always to make a quarter sized pancake for the first round–to make sure the pan is the right temp. It always works well and then you don’t waste more batter. They look delicious though!
That is a very smart trick, I’ll have to try it next time. Love your blog name! 😉
Thats too funny! I do almost exactly the same thing, evvvery time!
But like yours they still taste yummy no matter how bad the seem to look.
I’m not great at making p-cakes either. I like that you just ended up calling them blinis – I will have to remember that! 😛

The great thing about pancakes is that it does not matter what they look like…you can smother them with whatever you want to and they still taste delicious!
