Here’s a short video sharing how to make these delicious pancakes: If you’ve ever thought you needed a reason to eat pancakes, today is the day: National Pancake Day! Eat a short stack for breakfast, enjoy them for lunch, or make a dinner out a manhole-sized pancake… guilt free… because you’re merely celebrating their existence. Www.kingarthurflour. Love brownies.

Love their shiny, flaky top that shatters into micro-thin shards that shower onto your fingers as you eat. Love their dark, gooey center. Their “chocolate nirvana” flavor. Sometimes can’t deal with the bake, wait to cool, cutting into squares messiness and fuss of brownies. Want something I can enjoy within 5 minutes of its exit from the oven. Every time I make these cookies (which, truth be told, is quite often), I think of a former colleague, Ana, who left King Arthur last year in order to be a full-time mom to her 2-year-old twins. The test kitchen bakers loved Ana. Ana still visits occasionally, 2-year-olds in tow. And when she does, she’ll invariably nose out any chocolate, and treat us to her classic reaction: “Perfect!

These cookies are basically brownies: flat, round, 2 ½” brownies. First task: Combine the chocolate and butter. Melt in the microwave till softened… …then stir till smooth. Stir the chocolate into eggs and sugar, which you’ve beaten together. Buy vs. Two bits of good news. You guys!!!!!!! I did it. I made macarons !!!!! With feet!!!!! On my first try!!!!! Now on a typical day, seeing this much exclamation points would make me cringe, but not today. In hindsight I kind of wish I had spent significantly less time worrying about whether I would fail or not and used that time to actually attempt macarons. Now I have to credit another little critter here for incessantly pestering encouraging me to get up and make these cute little cookies: my brother Jason , who countered my every ridiculous excuse and insecurity with equally ridiculous statements that in the end made much more sense than my fears. Now Jason’s acts of brotherly valour come few and far between, but I’m quite certain this one won’t go forgotten by me.

After we popped the first tray of cookies into the oven, Jason went off to shoot for his blog and I was left on my lonesome to watch my macarons bake. 5 minutes went past. Homemade pop tarts. I never had a Pop-Tart until college.

I realize that for some people this may cause a shocked reaction on par with my husband’s the time I told him I’ve never watched Goonies before (or Jacob’s, upon discovering the internet). Obviously I grew up under a rock, right? Thus, given my proximity to concrete-like materials you’d think I have been better prepared for the texture of the one I purchased from the vending machine in the basement of my freshman dorm (not at 4 a.m. or anything, either, nope, not this angel!).

But I was not. It was like particle board, but even particle board has a fresher aroma. Fluffy Pancakes. This pancake recipe is the result of mixing and matching different recipes from many different sources.

Fluffy Pancakes

It is the result of trying and failing so many times, that I almost declared pancakes as the one breakfast recipe I couldn’t master. But I persisted, and this recipe is perfect – as perfect as a pancakes recipe can be, because making pancakes does involve frying, and frying is something that each of us needs to play with. It changes depending on your type of stove (gas or electric), on how hot the skillet is, and on how evenly hot you manage to keep it while frying multiple batches. But the instructions here are as close as it gets to “perfect,” and the result? Truly fluffy, puffy pancakes that are never heavy or dense and that are flavored with a pleasant vanilla aroma and taste. This recipe makes 16-18 pancakes. Fluffy Pancakes Makes 16-18 pancakes.
