International Castration Day!

One thing I am terrible at, that apparently Melissa is thebomb.com at, is pancakes.

The trick is that you need to not over-mix. Mix until you think, "shit, that's lumpy. that'll be a disaster." then stop. Wait a couple minutes. THEN pour onto your griddle. Promises.

The last batch I made wasn't too bad because I did that. Well, I didn't overmix. I didn't wait though, didn't realize that was a step. But I made them with whole wheat flour so it wasn't a good control.

You wait so that bubbles form, which is what'll make 'em fluffy. You need to start watching Alton Brown like Daddy did. He explains the scientific reasons behind why you're doing that seemingly pointless thing you decide not to do because you don't know WHY.

ON it like a bonnet.

Brown it like a ... crown. it.

Oh well.

theres something disturbing that a thread about castration turned into a thread about food.
