You can subst orange blossom water for Cointreau or Grand Marnier.
In fact try adding these into regular crepe, pancake or French toast batter. A tablespoon or so adds an absolutely wonderful nuance to the result.

#82I love pancakes, crepes, etc. If you have a ripe banana available, I'm a fan of this 4-ingredient banana/oats pancake recipe. Blend the following: Ripe banana. 2 Eggs. 1/3 cup instant oats. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. Low heat. Cooke 3 minutes. Flip. Cook one minute. That's it. Here's what mine looked like https://xenodium.com/banana-oats-pancakes-recipe
Arguably that's an (remarkably homogeneously consisted) omelette?

#83Pythagorean Pancakes 3:2:1 ratio. 3 eggs, 2 cups of milk and 1 cup flour. No beans. It seems heavy on liquid, but it makes lovely, flat crepes.
> Pythagorean
> 3:2:1
Not 5:4:3?

#84Earlier quoted context omitted.
He wrote it before 01694. Most of the English settlers who would define the American dialect of English hadn't moved to America yet in 01694, so there is no particular reason to expect Locke's definition to be more similar to the modern English definition than to the modern American definition. (And Nicosia claims that the result was in fact in between, even though she didn't beat it for the full 15 minutes.)
Curious: Why do you write it 01694 and not 1694?
Being HN my guess is avoiding the Y10K error. You're either part of the solution or part of the problem.

Only if you want pancakes with right angles. Totally impractical!
On the other hand, did you know that the ratio of the volume of a cone to a hemisphere to a cylinder is 1:2:3?

#88I'm a fan of the Dutch pancake, fluffy and oven-baked. I'm assuming they use baking powder for the fluffiness. The place I used to frequent when in Amsterdam has long gone but my heavens, they made an amazing banana baked pancake, with powdered sugar and genuine maple syrup.

#89I recently discovered you can toss up a flour + baking soda + water (+ salt) batter and cook it in the microwave in a minute. The sponge texture is perfect for dipping in olive oil.
Recipe!
