Cat in the Hat Pancakes

002Pancakes is the one dish that everyone at my house will for sure be happy to eat. So we eat them a lot. I've found a recipe I really like (see below). But my pancakes are never round, never even a recognizable shape. As Omar was doing dishes I was making pancakes, and getting really frustrated. He just laughed at me and said they are just "cat in the hat pancakes." I act mad, but I really like that he laughs at me like I'm cute.

But why is it that everything I do turns out cat in the hat and everything he does turns out perfectly?

I made him finish making the pancakes.

Best Pancake Recipe


from recipezaar

  • 1 egg

  • 3/4 cup milk

  • 2 tablespoons margarine, melted

  • 1 cup flour

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

  • 3 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt


Directions



  • Beat egg until fluffy.

  • Add milk and melted margarine.

  • Add dry ingredients and mix well.

  • Heat a heavy griddle or fry pan which is greased with a little butter on a paper towel.

  • The pan is hot enough when a drop of water breaks into several smaller balls which 'dance' around the pan.

  • Pour a small amount of batter (approx 1/4 cup) into pan and tip to spread out or spread with spoon.

  • When bubbles appear on surface and begin to break, turn over and cook the other side.
