Jill’s Pancakes

• Whisk together 2 tbsp. oil, 2 tbsp sweetener, 2 tsp vanilla extract & 1 cup soy milk in a bowl. Toss in 1 cup of flour.
• Instead of mixing dry ingreadients in a seperate bowl, sprinkle 2.5 tsp baking powder on top of the flour and whisk everything together, hoping the baking powder and flour will combine properly, thus leaving fewer dishes to wash.
• With a spoon, stir in 1 apple, diced. (Don’t use a whisk unless you want all of your apple bits to remain in your whisk instead of in your batter.)
• Heat an excellent non-stick pan to medium.When you can drop a drop of water in the pan and hear it sizzle, it’s hot enough.
• Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to spoon batter into pan.
• If batter seems a little thick, add a little more soy milk
• Cook until pancakes are good and bubbly on one side, and golden brown on the other.
• Flip.
• Cook until pancakes are golden brown on one side, and golden brown on the other.
• If done carefully, pancakes will be perfect. I’ve been perfecting this recipe since I was tall enough to reach the counter by standing on a chair.

Serve with a pile of fruit, maple syrup, vegetarian sausages, espresso and mimosas (below).

Mimosas

• Into each champagn flute, pour 3 oz champagne, and then 1 oz of OJ. Do not stir. Gravity will take care of that.

Languish in sunny kitchen with good friends until day, which was supposed to be semi-productive, is mostly over and you start to have thoughts about what to make for dinner and how you will get all of today’s work done tomorrow, on top of the work you’d scheduled for tomorrow. Rent a movie. Read the paper. When sun sets, brunch is done. Do dishes on Tuesday.
