Sorry for the long delay between posts. We don’t have enough time to cook big breakfasts on the weekdays, so I expect I’ll be posting only on weekends until we get through the breakfast section.
This morning’s recipe was C3P0 Pancakes. As you will see, they are designed to look like C3P0’s eyes.
We gathered up our ingredients:
Jacob stirred the dry ingredients while Peter mixed up the eggs, milk and butter:
We blended everything together to make our batter:
Then poured the batter into the skillet. Once the pancakes were almost ready to flip, we put a pineapple ring in the center, then flipped them over:
We kept the finished pancakes in the oven on a baking sheet to keep them warm. We ended up halving the recipe because I was low on flour, so we ended up with 4 pancakes (do you see C3P0 staring at you?):
The boys sat down to breakfast with some sugar-free maple syrup:
Skill level: Easy-Moderate. Ingredient prep was easy, but cooking the pancakes to the right amount of doneness is always a challenge!
Outcome: The boys aren’t huge fans of pineapple, so they weren’t very pleased about having a pineapple ring smack dab in the middle of their pancake. As you can see from the photo of Peter eating, he removed his after a bite or two. Jacob thought the pancakes were “too salty.” I tried a small bite. The taste was ok, but the texture seemed a little off. This may have been a result of me cutting the recipe in half. It called for 1 1/4 cups flour, and I used 2/3 cup, which is a shade more than we probably needed. This probably won’t make the repeat playlist, but it was fun to try.
