What better way to start a weekend than with some tasty buttermilk pancakes. Buttermilk, yes. An ingredient I rarely buy, and happy to see that it was low fat because I am noticing a trend in the way Alice prepared her meals and we will need to go for lots of walks outside after eating most of them.
Fairly straightforward preparation. mix dry and wet separately and then combine, but leave lumpy. That part is easy. It is the cooking of pancakes that always goes awry here and today was no different. Lucky for me and this project, Mark will eat anything (except cauliflower). They were a tee bit salty, something else I will have to watch for in the future.
Episode note: The Brady's were given a pool table on the second to last episode of the series by Mike's boss Mr. Matthews, played by the great Jim Bakkus. Bobby played 24/7 until he mastered the game and then hustled Mr. Matthews out of a case of chewing gum - the Brady's never bet for money, only packs of gum or doing someone else's chores for a month. Carol and Mike were so concerned about Bobby's future (they didn't know that they only had one more episode before being cancelled) that they made Mr. Matthews take the table back.
They look deelish!
ReplyDeleteAt first they were good, but a little salty. I thought I must be doing something wrong because Alice knew what she was doing in the kitchen. Then I wondered, what would Bobby do? Then it hit me, pour on the syrup! That added the right balance and they were perfect. Sometimes you just have to think like a Brady.
