Pancakes

Posted on by Bruce Barone in Uncategorized

I was at a friends house this past Saturday and her daughter, Alexa, told me the silliest story.

I\’ll call it \”The Story of the Half Pancake.\”

She told me about a time she was at a friend\’s house and the dad gave her a half pancake.

I never heard of a half pancake. Can you imagine instead of saying

\”What kind of pancakes would like? Buttermilk? Banana? Apple? Blueberry? Strawberry?\”

\”Would you like a half pancake?\”

I  have had a half of a hamburger or pizza. But meatball? Egg? Pancake?

Inspired, I made pancakes the next morning.

Ingredients

2 eggs
1 1/2 cups buttermilk (Or milk. If you have Kefir, add 1/4 cup.)
3 tablespoons butter, Melted
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (Or 1 cup plus 1/2 whole wheat)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Beat the eggs; add the remaining ingredients and beat until smooth. Add the bananas, apples, or blueberries. Mix in. Grease a heated griddle. Pour batter from a spoon or measuring cup. Turn pancakes when puffed and full of bubbles. Bake the other side until golden brown. Makes about 14 inch pancakes.

Serve whole with maple syrup!

Thanks to a Facebook friend,
an Interior Designer,
I spent all day Saturday
photographing an estate
in Connecticut;
a 100+ year-old Georgian Revival
on 6 acres.
I photographed interiors and exteriors.
We will be choosing four images
to frame and hang
in their great hall/foyer.
Each frame will be approximately
45 x 45
with a 7–10 inch mat;
the photos 35 x 35.
 
 
If you are looking for distinctive portrait, nature, or documentary photography,
or someone you know is looking
for photography that helps to create a more artful and beautiful life,
please contact me.
