This post, once again, has nothing to do with my writing, mostly because I'm simultaneously trying to distract myself and intensely focus on finishing the third book in the "An Arrangement" series. You create all these obstacles and barriers to keep two people apart and then you have to somehow get them past all of that so they can be happy together. It's easier in books at any rate.
I was watching cooking fail videos with my daughter when we came across the phenomenon of rice-cooker pancakes. We love pancakes and I'm always looking for something to make the same old foods interesting and new. I found a couple of cool YouTube videos like this one here , and then took a slight detour here, where I learned about Japanese souffle pancakes, which look amazing, but I worry might be eggy. I don't mind eggy, but my kid hates eggy and will ooh and aww over the look of the food and then refuse to eat it. The whole point of this exercise is to get food into her, n'est pas? Well, est. (Sorry, Dr. Dalka, been a while).
Growing up I always made pancakes from scratch, so I looked up a recipe. I used this one (https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/21014/good-old-fashioned-pancakes/). I'm not a food blogger, so just a couple of quick pictures for you:
Wet ingredients directly into rice cooker.
Ingredients blended.
Finished product.
How did it turn out? I'd give it a 7/10. It got stuck in the pan because I didn't mix it separately and grease the bottom. I used a spatula to get it out and it was fine. It also took a lot longer to cook than I had expected. It tasted really good, though there was a little bit of a cornbread texture. Slathered in powdered sugar, homemade syrup and strawberries it got inside the child. Which is what mattered most. I'd def make it again.
Now back to Chris and Emily.
