When my mom was working late last
Tuesday night, my little sister Nicole wanted to cook dinner. We decided to
prepare dinner, so our Mom didn't need to worry about it after a stressful day.
However, Nicole wanted to have breakfast for dinner and she was the boss. We
found that we had run out of pancake mix, and it was the end of the world.
"How are we supposed to have
breakfast, for dinner, without pancakes?!" She exclaimed, as she
dramatically flipped her spatula into the sink. Once the drama had
ceased, we clicked to allrecipes.com for help, where we found the
pumpkin pancakes. We decided to take a whack at it and gathered all the
ingredients. After greasing the grill, Nicole poured the mix, ever so
carefully. She wiggled her spatula underneath the pancake, checking to see if
it had cooked enough.
No matter how burnt the outer
surface was, the pancake was still runny in the middle. They
tasted like burnt pumpkin with the texture of the guts of a
pumpkin. When Mom came home, we told her about our dilemma. She
advised us to add in about a 1/2 cup of flour. We also added about a 1/4 cup of
brown sugar and oodles of chocolate chips.
The second batch cooked a little better
after this “correction” and they weren't near as runny. I didn't need any syrup
because these pancakes were basically flattened cookies. Good thing Nicole and
I made sausage and eggs to go with breakfast-dinner. Although I would rather
have plain, basic pancakes, I had fun cooking with Nicole. If you are a sugar-a-holic,
these pancakes are for you.
