Old Fashioned Pancake Recipe

>> ^Crosswords:
One of the problems I have with a lot of pancakes is they're too dry, I shouldn't need a tub of butter and a gallon of syrup to make them moist enough that they don't get stuck in my throat halfway down.
I'm dubious on the use of melted butter, I generally find vegetable oil produces better results for moistness in baked goods.


Agreed. I don't like a lot of restaurant pancakes for this reason. I always use olive oil and add fruit to mine (see above recipe).

Old Fashioned Pancake Recipe

My tried-and-tested pancake recipe:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-2 tablespoons brown sugar (depending on desired sweetness)
1 tablespoon of maple syrup
1 3/4 cups milk (I use Vanilla-flavored soy milk)
1 egg
2 tablespoons light olive oil
1 tsp each of nutmeg and cinnamon

Mix dry and wet ingredients seperately, then whisk together until lump-free, let stand until thickened, and then cook on medium heat. After about 30 seconds in the pan I add some sort of fruit combination into the pancake including blueberry, raspberry, pineapple, strawberry, apple, etc. I then cover the fruit with some more batter. Blueberry & pineapple is an especially delicious combo. Cook until golden on each side, then top with maple syrup or whipped cream (or both).

Rick Santorum Rips Woman Over Prescription Drug Costs

shponglefan says...

On the one hand I kinda see Santorum's point: if a person has a bunch of optional expenses then they shouldn't really be complaining about a necessary expense.

But we don't really know what this woman's situation is. I think having a basic phone is pretty necessary in today's society, but the cost would be a minor fraction of paying for those prescriptions. OTOH, if she's forking over $200 a month for a cell phone, but complaining about $200 a month for prescriptions, then that doesn't add up.

But for a lot of people, $2400/year for prescriptions is a big expense and can make it tough to make ends meet.
