FLOP factor in relationship to pancakes

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I prefer crepes, however I do not have any French bikes, nor do I want any. Any (most any) berry over banana's on my breakfast dough.

...a good apple crepe in no way resembles a vexatious French bicycle. Is French Flop one of those venereal disease terms from WW2 ?

Don't ruin a good pancake with the fake crap. Gotta go with the "natural" stuff.

What is full fat buttermilk? Buttermilk is by definition reduced fat since the butter is gone.

...have you tried the darker grades, like grade B, and grade C ? Different tastes, less sweetness.

1 cup reasonably fresh, stone milled, organic, winter wheat flour (it will usually say High Protein on it somewhere in the description), half a teaspoon of baking powder, half of baking soda, and about half tsp salt.

Quickly beat in with a wire whisk two large fresh eggs, about a cup of either dairy milk or almond milk, and a dash of olive or Canola oil. The amount of liquid varies with the choice of flour, you are trying for a batter consistency thinner than muffin batter, but thicker than crepe batter. do not overmix as this will toughen the pancakes.

Whisk in some chopped walnuts and some bits of whatever cooking apples you have around...Fuji, Granny Smith..anything that maintains some texture when cooked. Fresh blueberries in season work well.

Oil your griddle or skillet , get it hot to the point where a water drop dances on the surface. cook the pancakes. Serve with butter and maple syrup.

...this recipe developed using research methods outlined in "On Food and Cooking: the science and lore of the kitchen" by Harold Mcgee (1984)
You forgot to mention the flour had to be whole wheat. You're welcome.

Too good to eat is an oxymoron.

That's because when you rude over huckleberries, they feel like syrup stopping. The rest of the time they are pancake smooth.

Recently read somewhere that Maple Syrup was the ideal energy source for on the bike refueling. Easier to swallow and faster into the system than gels. Have started hoarding those 1.5oz bottles of the stuff from ******* Barrel. They usually put extras in the bag if you order the pancakes to go.

weird, you can't use the word for what a Premium Saltine is on here? Saltines are considered racist? It's a restaurant chain, and they do pancakes....
