Pancakes: Version 2.0

Are you tired of plain, boring, old, flat pancakes that just lie there on the plate; passively absorbing the butter, syrup and whipped cream you slather on them?  I know I am.  pancake.jpgThat’s why, as soon as I saw this on t.v., I bought six Pancake Puff Pans for the kitchen here at The Redneck.  puffs.jpgSo now, if you come down here for breakfast, lunch or supper (’cause pancake puffs are good any time of the day) you can order a big plate of these small, round, hollow pancakes.  They’re as much fun to look at as they are to eat.  Just add a little butter, syrup and whipped cream and it’ll be like there’s a party in your mouth and on your plate; and everybody’s invited.

But wait there’s more!  The website assures me that the fillings and varieties are “endless”.  For example: blueberry, cinnamon and chocolate puffs; or savoury flavours like: pizza, crab-cake and jalapeno puffs.  But all of those are pretty boring (even though they are puffs), so I’ve experimented with some truly unique varieties.  Naturally the very first thing I did was substitute Blue Beaver Beer instead of water in the batter.  Only afterwards did I realize that there was no way to top that.  Nonetheless, I made a few others that are pretty good.  Liverwurst, spam and edible pansy puffs.  I also filled some with the fruit of the spiny poplar tree from the forests of Ubangme.  Then after seeing a Monty Python sketch, I tried something really radical: Crunchy Frog.  “Crunchy, raw, unboned, real, dead frog.”  No mock frog here, we use no artificial additives or preservatives of any kind.  It is the sort of thing that you’ll never believe until you taste it yourself.

    Okay okay… for real, dude. Did you really buy one? Crunchy frog aside. Because I’ve been soooo tempted to buy one of those things. Do they work like they’re advertised??

  • Ernie (author) said:

    Okay, for real; no I didn’t buy one. Sorry to get your hopes up. Doesn’t everything work exactly like it’s advertised? If I ever found out that t.v. was lying to me, I’d be pretty devastated.

  • Angel said:

    Dammit, Ernie! How could you get my hopes up like that?!

    Go buy one and then tell me if you like it!

    I saw those on TV and my kids want me to buy one.

  • Angel said:

    Tammy, Ernie is a mean mean man. I honestly thought he’d gotten one and could tell me whether or not it really works! I guess we’ll have to buy one ourselves!

    Being a bit of one myself, I’d be willing to try the Pansy Puffs. Unless of course they are Liverwurst, Spam and Pansy… then that would be big “No Thanks”!

    I dunno. It ain’t a pancake if it ain’t flat and slathered in butter and soaking up syrup. Those sound more like donut holes. Equally delicious!

    “Donut holes”
    Holes are empty spaces for christ sake.
    And why would the center of a donut taste any better than the rest of the donut ?
    If the center was cut out after the donut was fried it would have cakey edge. This would cause breating on the part of the finished product rendering it dry and unpaltable.
    The “holes” you speak of or more appropriatly “centers are basically just scoop of the same dough prepared in the same manner.
    So, num nuts, if ya eat 3 0r 4 fuckin holes you’re just eating a fucking donut

    I haven’t had old fashioned crunchy frog in forever. Tell me, do you use organic cooking grease or pure lard?

    I prefer the lard myself.
