Apparently one of the great benefits of cooking everything from scratch is you discover things like this. This morning when i woke up I had a craving for pancakes. So I consulted the prestigious Internets once again. Here I found a great and easy recipe for pancakes:
2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
2-3 tbs sugar
2 tbs baking powder
1/4 cup melted butter
1 3/4 cup milk
2 eggs
Mix together and add additional milk until you reach the desired constancy, cook on teflon pan at medium heat and Wham, delicious pancakes that taste exactly like...pancakes.
Roommate-Ben was somewhat surprised that i had actually made the pancakes from scratch. It was at this point that i realized how pointless it is to buy pancake mix as this was probably the easiest thing I've made all week. After I pointed this out, Ben pulled out some pancake mix to compare ingredients. The only difference was the proportions were slightly different and the mix didn't call for butter like the scratch recipe (also the pancake mix comes with a laundry list of preservatives and chemicals.)
In sum, don't ever buy pancake mix EVER! Flour is cheaper and healthier; and lets face it, cooking things from scratch is much more fun. And although i cannot base this claim on empirical or even anecdotal evidence, I'm pretty sure the knowledge of how to make delicious pancakes from scratch will impress girls.
