Annie – Yeah…good comfort food. Pancakes solve all problems, even if only temporarily (and I know this has been quite an annoying problem — remember when my wallet was stolen? And I know that your purse had a lot more in it!) . Thanks for solving the mystery of the recipe. The Betty Crocker Cookbook is probably the only one I didn’t take from home. I had to leave you with at least one.
Love, G

I think pancakes are a wonderful comfort food, especially at 3 a.m. in Miami Beach when you can’t sleep because your purse with your money, id, passport, meds and lots of papers has just been stolen a couple of hours earlier from a locked car at an upscale mall. So it was out to a 24-hour restaurant that would serve pancakes at that hour….. Our newly renovated condo’s kitchen wasn’t unpacked yet.

BTW, I think I solved the mystery of the pancake recipe. It is from the Betty Crocker Cook Book and did not include vanilla. We added that as a flavoring in addition to the extra sugar that Stephen PhD (“daddy”) liked in his pancakes.

Congrats, Ry! You’ve managed to post the first picture of my face on my blog…and it’s a winner. I’ll be a good sport and not delete it! Glad to have you commenting, lis sis.
- Love, the big one.

oh G. you asked for it.

thanks to a snowy weekend in nyc last year, i scanned all these old family photos on a beanie hp scanner that slsq sent.
we have the best slsq ever.
i even like the fact that slsq, kept the digital date on the frame 12-14-86 (i kept it in the cropped scan) oh memories.
i hope he can uncover the ‘spark in the dark’ frames from my lifesaver experiment in 6th grade.

We all have our perfect comfort foods, don’t we? And I think that breakfast for dinner fits into that category perfectly, particularly ones as light as fluffy as these ones.

- Debi – I wonder if the vanilla was my doing or the original recipe — still trying to find original (but I add vanilla to french toast too, so maybe mine?). And I’m all about the real deal for syrup (thought I used fake low calorie stuff because I was dancing growing up).
- Heavenly Housewife – Thanks. Less fluffy than buttermilk, but not bad for a substitute.
- Dolce – I love “rescuing” ingredients.
- SLSq – Thanks for weighing in on a little disagreement in memory between the “small people” in the family. And that pickle experiment picture may make it to blog one of these days.

I remember making pancakes on Sunday morning with the small silver dollar ones being poplular for the two small people who also liked them. Over time, those two small people managed to get more involved in the process and even started to innovate with chocolate chips being among the most favorite.

The sources of my concern about protecting the integrity of the “reagent” was from all the time I spent in my high school chemistry lab. Some times we actually did experiments involving “food” by systematically varying that amounts of the various reagents and the conditions for combining and heating them.

There was a time when Z did her own science experiment based on making pickles!

I have a similar recipe from a friend who got it from a friend… so I don’t know where it comes from either.
And I like to throw in a ripe banana if I have one on the verge of getting overripe overnight too

I agree–pancakes do offer comfort, no matter what time of day. I like the vanilla you’ve added to the batter. —I definitely agree with the warm syrup requirement…and it has to be the real deal…no exceptions.
