Lazy Man's Pancakes

Finally, a relaxing day off from the stressful world of high school. But, what to feed that growling stomach? For these easy going kind of days, you should try Lazy Man’s Pancakes. “This is great when you’re pressed for time. No more standing at the stove for an hour flipping and frying… just mix and pop in the oven” (101 Breakfast & Brunch Recipes).

Ingredients: -3 Tablespoons Butter -6 Eggs -1½ Cups Milk -1½ Cups All-Purpose Flour

Melt butter in a baking pan placed in a 425-degree oven; make sure to spread all around and sides. In a bowl, combine eggs, milk, and flour; beat well. Slowly pour the mixture into the buttered pan for 25 minutes, or until top is golden (101 Breakfast & Brunch Recipes). Just cut into squares and serve. You are also able to garnish the savory pancakes with whatever you would like. Maybe some maple syrup, almonds, strawberries, or bananas.  

The impact the reading has had on cooking is helping to deal with uncertainty and the unexpected. This was definitely a new way to make pancakes, which I was anxious about how it’ll come out. Once the timer rang to take it out, I was thrown off by what I saw. The pancakes were coming out more like a pie. It was forming a high crust on the outer rims and an under cooked filling. I have to say, I had a mini panic attack from the unexpected. Nonetheless, my mom calmed me down and just told me to put it in the oven a bit longer until it was golden. So, how do you deal with the unexpected in cooking or even in your own life?
