Ok. tonight we'll be using Hodgson's (which can easily be anogramed into "God's Son" plus his middle initail, "H")Mill Buckwheat Pancake mix which I obtained at the local New Leaf--yuppies who wish they were hippies-- market.
Take the opened box in one hand and a large soup bowl with about an inch of water in it in the other and pour the mix into the bowl (adding water or mix as consistancy calls for) until all the lumps are gone, all the powder is scraped of the side, and it becomes necasary to hold onto the bowl while stirring to keep it from turning (I like my batter rich and my pancakes usually turn out to be anywhere up to a half inch thick).
Stir in exactly one large glob of peanut butter, chopping it with the mixing spoon and stirring until it blends nicely into the batter. Unless the PB is the extra oily kind add one teaspoon of veggie oil or margerine.
(note: most recipies call for milk and eggs but I don't use milk and I've found, surprisingly, that the pancakes hold together better without the eggs)
Put griddle with one swig of veggie oli on the burner and turn burner on full blast.
Remove batteries from smoke detector.
When griddle starts to sizzle, slowly pour in enough batter to make a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Wipe excess batter off stove and into the space between the stove and the sink where your roomate will never find it.
Go back to your computer to see if anyone's posted anything interesting on RF.
Run back into the kitchen and check pancake for bubbles. If the bubbles are very small and just around the very edge of the pancake, go stand on your porch and smoke half a cigarrette.
Run back into kitchen. Bubbles should now be about the size of a smiley--
, and about a half inch from the edge of the pancake.
Take spatula and peak under edge of pancake(note:wear saftey glasses to avoid hot grease splatter in the eyes). If the underside is light to crunchy-brown push spatula as far under pancake as possible and flip.
Go and smoke about half of the remaining half of your cigarette.
Walk back into kitchen. Pancake should now be done. Pick up pancake with spatula and deposit it on plate. Eat this pancake while you are cooking the other 5.
Center one smaller glob of PB on each subsequent pancake, allow 3 seconds to melt and smear PB over surface of pancake, drawing interesting pictures or writting short stories with the spoon.
Take full plate of pancakes back into the living room, sit back down in front of computer, check RF for new posts and to see if your frubal count has gone up, say a few short words of thanks to The Great Pancake (he doesn't mind if you speak with your mouth full)and enjoy.
(Serves 3 people or one glutten).
