N&J Take on Pancakes

J. said that if we got an iron griddle as a wedding gift, he will commit to making pancake breakfasts once per quarter.  When R. & J. got us that griddle, it was time to deliver.

Since we had some buttermilk in the fridge from making our favorite waffles, we went with this recipe:

The resulting pancakes were super fluffy, from the presence of two leavening agents in the recipe.
J. found it hard to get the temperature balance right on the new griddle to have the pancakes cooked all the way through before they burn.  But, he seemed to have found a good handle on it towards the end.

The pancakes were delicious:

We hope to repeat this experiment sooner than three months from now.

Potato Crisps with some of the works

Inspired by our Smitten Kitchen cookbook, we made these:

We held back on many of the 'works' due to lactose intolerance.  They still worked out fairly well.

Some lessons learned:

- almond milk cheese doesn't melt, at all

- it's better to add garlic to these after the flipping step
