I re-paid him with an open bar at my wedding.)<br /><br />@Yvonne -- I'm gonna take the fifth on the syrup question. But, I'm willing to take it under further consideration. :)<br /><br />@Elena -- Absolutely agree on the difference between packaged v. homemade batter. Regardless, though, Jalen will eat the raw batter by the spoonful. I cannot articulate how much this grosses me out.Aaron C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03840720779725600492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333991649672303972.post-68323022278868446952012-01-19T18:09:38.293-08:002012-01-19T18:09:38.293-08:00There is a middle ground.

I think I was 15 or 16. I *hated* them. Little did I know that non-Bisquick pancakes were possible. SO much better! And then I discovered whole wheat (and a million other kinds) not long after that. <br /><br />And I am going to be VERY disappointed in you if that's some kind of bottled, processed syrup like Mrs. Butterworth, Aaron. Spring for the REAL maple syrup! It's not that much more expensive and the taste difference is really noticeable. :)Yvonnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333991649672303972.post-90049190607171744472012-01-19T06:36:47.130-08:002012-01-19T06:36:47.130-08:00You're dead right about the batter-powder.

They have *very* different - and wrong - ideas about what a pancake is, so if I wanted them, making my own was the only option. What blew my mind was that to make them from scratch takes maybe 3 minutes longer than using a packet, and the difference in quality is... [siiiiigh].<br /><br />Based on your suggestions, my next weekend brekkie endeavour might be wholewheat bourbon-and-bacon pancakes. (And in a dark corner of an insurance law office in one of the scrubbier bits of Boston, tears of joy just leapt to my girlfriend's eyes, and she has no idea why. YET.)Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06241618743075905436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333991649672303972.post-62046773058021197022012-01-18T12:14:06.616-08:002012-01-18T12:14:06.616-08:00Oh, I think it merits my own Black History Month c...Oh, I think it merits my own Black History Month cardboard cutout head shot for elementary school teachers to staple to their corkboards.Aaron C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03840720779725600492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333991649672303972.post-21523461418067812012012-01-18T11:55:07.926-08:002012-01-18T11:55:07.926-08:00You DO know that the most well known crepe recipe ...You DO know that the most well known crepe recipe is made with booze, right?
