I 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

Surprise. Never expect to see a receipt and banana pancake in this web site. So far away from lisp. Universe nature is emptiness. There is no permanence. Really.

It gets more random than that ;) xenodium.com is an accidental blog really. It started as a single org file I used to take notes. At some point, I exported it to html and here we are...

Arguably that's an (remarkably homogeneously consisted) omelette?

I expected this too, but is now one of the three pancake recipes I regularly use and on the "healthier" side. Don't over-blend and you should be ok. They do take lower heat to cook (and thus longer to flip) than typical pancakes.

Looking forward to trying this recipe. That picture looks divine.

Can you share the other two recipes?

Here is my grandma's crepe recipe in exchange:

1 cup flour 1 egg 1 cup milk 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp vegetable oil 1 tsp sugar pinch of salt

Jeff Bezos, a notorious pancake aficionado, per the NY Times is allegedly fond of a recipe from the Joy of Cooking, which he would make for executives that would visit his home. https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/member/views/joy-of-cooki... https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/12/technology/jeff-bezos-ama...

Speaking of old pancake recipes and the Times, I’m very fond of the NYT 1966 Dutch Baby recipe. It’s said to be Amanda Hesser’s favourite recipe. https://mobile.twitter.com/i/web/status/1477263398303932420 Sorry for the Twitter link, but unlike the actual recipe on their site, there’s no paywall here. Note it requires a cast iron skillet, which isn’t clearly called out here. Serve it with some syrup and fried apple s…

I tried downloading this with my recipe manager (Paprika) and it parsed it as this:

* 1 Dutchman * 1 Dutchwoman * 1tsp of consent * It comes together in about five minutes * Set aside and let rise for nine months

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?

No I didn't, but there's something missing - with the same radius of circle end I assume perhaps?

Same base circle and same height, yes

Whoa this flashed me back to being 14 years old, hearing nutmeg could get you high, and splitting an entire bottle of ground nutmeg with a friend. Felt like I had the flu for 2 days. Yeesh its good young people are resilient.

I also made the bad decision as a teenager to get high off nutmeg

I still can't stand the smell of nutmeg 30 plus years after this failed experiment.

For any americans here: With the right recipe, are your pancakes edible without simply using them as sponges for high fructose corn syrup? I'm thinking of the ones with baking powder, that I consider "american pancakes" (but correct me if that's not right).

Oh yes. I love pancakes with just melted butter. A giant butter sponge.

If anything else I put honey on them. Maple syrup is just a total ripoff price wise.

My go to cheat meal really with sausage.

I learned many years later that it would require consumption of approximately 5 pounds of nutmeg to get an effective dosage (if I remember correctly).

I got that bit, I thought there was also something clever in the misspelled Bakin I was missing. I guess not :)

I assume it's slang for getting high but I'm not sure.

My take on it is that it was an intentional misspelling intended to describe the "armchair philosopher" that arises from many of us when we use THC products.

I could be wrong but it makes me chuckle every time I think of it.
