Because it's been published by Barnes and Noble you can only get it from them. That's bad for me because you can only get it there, but good for you because it means they're less expensive than if they were available everywhere. They've cut out the "middle man." It comes with the bottle and step by step instructions on how to get your pancake "game" on! The hole in the top of the bottle is a little small. Cut a little off with a pair of scissors. Be careful. It's hard to put it back on.

It's been a long time. There's a reason. The Pancake Project has been picked up by Sterling Press. It's going to be a book. It'll be out as a "How To" kit complete with a bottle sometime in September. They've chosen the name, "Extreme Pancake Kit." It's got instructions on how to make a lot of funny pancakes and a couple of really pretty ones. This photo is of one of the really pretty ones. The texture on this turned out amazing. <div><br /></div><div>I could use some help. If any of you have connections to a magazine that might run an article about the kit let me know. I need to get some publicity to try to sell some books. Get me a successful lead and I'll send you a copy of the book when it comes out. </div><div><br /></div><div>About this pancake: It's all drips. I had some colored batter left over from another project and just started dripping it on the griddle. That's how I made those leaves. It really built up into a beautiful texture. </div></div>The Pancake Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17065782337039748886noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418463006625747371.post-71825062727262919782010-10-31T09:16:00.000-07:002010-10-31T09:33:21.024-07:00Pumpkin Patch<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxv95x39ull4USAaMFpX4P8llTHA0N5g-_9axWlAD1pNaC9UEs7VsirCiy1nzQcoaMwmSy2BK63Gg8uKqHvXDQ3zBpd5odyxG-pWoax0ZyLSb_RD_n0WhrayeEg1M9G_hJhu7mwT3JEzU/s1600/Jack-o-Lantern.JPG"><img style="float:right;

I was pretty excited by the way the colors turned out in the Taco Platter (Dec. 13, 2009) and the Corn on the Cob (Feb 16, 2010) but they're pretty wimpy when you quit messing around and add some more food coloring. These look like foam rubber.

A recipe? Not even a picture?I'm not really keen on pretending that I have the best pancake recipe in the world but in this case, it didn't seem right holding back on you. I had this pancake at Teller's house a couple of days ago and it was great. I had no choice but to beat the recipe out of him. You should make these. Really. <div><br /></div><div>This pancake requires planning ahead. Planning ahead is on top of my list: "Stuff I'm Not Very Good At." Then my wife called from the grocery store . At the top of my, "Stuff I AM Very Good At" list is telling people what to do. The pieces were falling into place. </div><div><br /></div><div>Soak 1 cup of quick cooking oats in 1 cup of buttermilk overnight. </div><div><br /></div><div>At pancake time add 1/4 cup all purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, two eggs, 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar, and two tablespoons of melted butter. Stir it up. </div><div><br /></div><div>Plop some of the batter onto your 400 degree griddle and stick blueberries into the batter. Flip it. Eat it. Duh. Duh-licious. I put a little butter and syrup on mine. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'm pretty sure that because of the low amount of flour in this you could probably use one of the gluten free flour or pancake mixes in place of that measly 1/4 cup of flour and this would still be a good pancake. Most of the gluten free pancake mixes we've tried are pretty bad on their own but this might be the Holy Grail of wheat free pancakes. </div><div><br /></div><div>THIS JUST IN: I made the recipe and did replace the small amount of wheat flour with a 1/4 cup of wheat free pancake mix. The difference was not noticed and they were so much better than making the wheat free pancake mix on its own. </div>The Pancake Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17065782337039748886noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418463006625747371.post-13751208552516475402010-02-17T13:45:00.001-08:002010-02-17T14:09:32.602-08:00More Viewer Pancakes<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7usToRByo2ohNkyasXb8FT5g8n6oSj1TyFqGNsvh7pRqYx2T60TseSy4EEXjUTdAjubnIFu0IuQuUWgFLpIMep0V3cYPx6y0kbFGJF8mIUIVJBTX3gZHhjYOH_ZvcK7ePHU2ygd1yv9A/s1600-h/Stefanie+Sofia+Pancake.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7usToRByo2ohNkyasXb8FT5g8n6oSj1TyFqGNsvh7pRqYx2T60TseSy4EEXjUTdAjubnIFu0IuQuUWgFLpIMep0V3cYPx6y0kbFGJF8mIUIVJBTX3gZHhjYOH_ZvcK7ePHU2ygd1yv9A/s320/Stefanie+Sofia+Pancake.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439337257013442594" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbKKBoJF4v3jUmxeOCciqNSIxvvLkhpwv10LrqKG4aHvDf_Bv6s6cgpULfO8giVbGwnr1wbNyCeJ3axdY01ibGolNN-7BN8XDUfrivP2E_RbngLoTqVthnRaIlyO0XX3FOjPzaTuO4bf8/s1600-h/Bunny+Nuhfer+Pancake.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 263px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbKKBoJF4v3jUmxeOCciqNSIxvvLkhpwv10LrqKG4aHvDf_Bv6s6cgpULfO8giVbGwnr1wbNyCeJ3axdY01ibGolNN-7BN8XDUfrivP2E_RbngLoTqVthnRaIlyO0XX3FOjPzaTuO4bf8/s320/Bunny+Nuhfer+Pancake.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439337253544567330" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Here are a couple more Viewer Pancakes:<div><br /><div><div><div>The lovely smiling face there is a self portrait submitted by Stephane Sofia.

Not only is this pancake 3-d it is "Flavor Dimensional." The "corn cob" is a rolled up corn pancake. It's not the best looking pancake I've made but it tasted great. I'm going to make more flavor dimensional pancakes. <div><br /></div><div>It's been awhile since I posted a pancake. I had a pan disaster. I'm a juggler and I was flipping a pancake with perhaps a little too much gusto. The pan part flew off the handle, bounced off the stove, and crashed to the floor. It landed on a rubber mat. It melted the mat and was stuck before I could get it up. Turns out once the handle is gone a hot pan is hard to pick up. Who knew? Okay, everyone but me. </div><div><br /></div><div>I took this opportunity to switch to a giant fancy electric pancake skillet. It stinks on ice. Everything sticks to it no matter how much I spray it. I did do a few Valentine's Day pancakes for the family but they were pretty standard red batter hearts with words in them. I was also not paying a lot of attention. I had an orientation error. When I flipped mine, rather than "Dad," I had written "Dab." I stuffed it into my mouth before anyone caught the error. </div><div><br /></div><div>In honor of Pancake Day I went out and purchased a new stovetop pancake griddle. This "Corn on the Cob" is the first pancake made on it. </div><div><br /></div><div>Later this week I'll be posting a couple more "viewer pancakes." </div></div>The Pancake Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17065782337039748886noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418463006625747371.post-32217703026423927222009-12-29T13:19:00.000-08:002009-12-29T13:22:54.958-08:00FlapJack Bauer<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis05cBdQ-N0eWXyfaWAlPgNdHl-lVq5q0SZCvQX6O5AufAI5tl9lSpUSF6YDSaC6hmU65XCaMUYs31akE_ZpkubL1_18M5PL_X6rKm2XdQGzRWHfRHqkyNmrdhJtF4b1A-2uYgNfr8tog/s1600-h/FlapJackBauer.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 333px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis05cBdQ-N0eWXyfaWAlPgNdHl-lVq5q0SZCvQX6O5AufAI5tl9lSpUSF6YDSaC6hmU65XCaMUYs31akE_ZpkubL1_18M5PL_X6rKm2XdQGzRWHfRHqkyNmrdhJtF4b1A-2uYgNfr8tog/s400/FlapJackBauer.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420771681047479858" /></a><br />I've made a lot of pancakes for the kids.

This week they're asking, "What do you drink during the holidays to relax when you're done with the work?" <div><br /></div><div>My answer is hot chocolate. I know. Not very exotic. I do use the really good hot chocolate if that's any help. <div><br /></div><div>I don't drink any alcoholic beverages. They all remind me of the hospital. Not because of some horrible drinking and driving accident thing. Its the smell. Ick. Who wants a drink that smells like something you'd pour on an open wound? So, smell and the way people behave when drunk keep me away from the stuff. </div><div><br /></div><div>Here's the thing though. I'm a foodie. I thought it was something I was missing out on so I tried to learn to drink wine. I found myself doing that little kid "horrible taste" whole body shake trying to get it down. I've tried enough. I can confidently say there has never been a glass of wine as good as strawberry Kool-Aid. </div><div><br /></div></div>The Pancake Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17065782337039748886noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418463006625747371.post-18238258065865603042009-12-07T09:23:00.000-08:002009-12-07T09:46:03.151-08:00Amanda Havlik's Pancake Art<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq7bS0IskHgEBrg9MnRCqfJLiQ_8LhcYeazIhXFS_dMIkpJe0Tt6YvlOfVbnX0yZgqM5YfynTxvqUXrjLj3jiuDp2SKPCjL1vlAA4p3qDqOpgqwsaewbAjv8ENDdhHAX-vxn7OzTTFFhM/s1600-h/BunnyAndBill.jpeg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 221px; height: 166px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq7bS0IskHgEBrg9MnRCqfJLiQ_8LhcYeazIhXFS_dMIkpJe0Tt6YvlOfVbnX0yZgqM5YfynTxvqUXrjLj3jiuDp2SKPCjL1vlAA4p3qDqOpgqwsaewbAjv8ENDdhHAX-vxn7OzTTFFhM/s400/BunnyAndBill.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412546729751367410" /></a><br />This was a big weekend.
