Pancakes and waffles. Easy to make the
batter and then...I'm a notoriously bad pancake flipper, and the last
time I went to make waffles, with the batter prepared, the waffle
maker wouldn't heat up. So, neither are things I have great luck
with. Still, I knew there would come a day when Sourdough Surprises picked that for their monthly challenge. It came as no surprise when that was picked for September.
Since the waffle incident, I have replaced the waffle
maker, but having just made them (from a mix), I opted for
pancakes...with my new toy:
I know As Seen on TV products normally
aren't all they're made out to be, but my aunt has one and likes it,
so for $18 (in free gift cards!) I decided it was worth a try.
The pan has a little bit of a learning
curve (you can't watch for bubbles, so you have to know your timing).
A few got a little burnt on one side, and one that I flipped and
opened the pan before it was cooked through got a little mushed.
Still, I was quite happy with the results, and the pancakes were
delicious.
With the right tools, I suppose I can
fix even my biggest kitchen weaknesses. I just got another round of
new toys...so who knows what's next!
I've never seen a pancake maker like that before! Very cool.
ReplyDeleteIt was!
DeleteI have never seen a pancake maker before either~ Interesting..Lynn @ Turnips 2 Tangerines
ReplyDeleteThey're in the As Seen on TV stores...I don't watch infomercials normally :-)
DeleteI'm glad I am not the only one who has trouble with pancakes and waffles. I'm wary of this pancake maker though. Timing is not my strong suit!
ReplyDeleteIt took me to the last set to get it right. But I think I'll get used to it.
DeleteNeat pancake maker! Love the idea of spice and brown sugar. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThanks :-)
DeleteAh, that's a cool toy! I'm dreadful with timings though, so I would probably burn A LOT of pancakes. Yours turned out great!
ReplyDeleteEven I got used to it :-)
DeleteI love brown sugar and spice and that pancake maker looks like it makes things really easy.
ReplyDeleteEasy once I got used to it, but definitely delicious!
DeleteBrown sugar and spice sound awesome in pancakes! And what a fun toy! I am sure you will get good at using it! :)
ReplyDeleteThey were awesome :-).
DeleteBrown sugar and spice sound delicious. I'm a confirmed pancake flipper, but your new toy looks like fun.
