That wife of mine is really something else. She is brilliant sometimes.
This evening I decided to simply nuke some frozen pancakes and call that supper. She knows I love to put milk or cream on my pancakes to make them extra moist. So she says, "Why not put vanilla ice cream on them instead of milk?"
Try it. You'll like it. Nothing else needed to keep the pancakes tasty. Make sure to put on plenty of ice cream to make the pancakes nice and moist.

Yeah, but that means you have to wait for the ice cream to melt. Better to put the "dish" back in the microwave for a few additional seconds if your goal really is moister pancakes.

I love to listen in when cows discuss dairy products.

Hey, Don. Bet you didn't know that white cows give white milk while brown cows give chocolate milk and red cows give strawberry milk. The ones you see that are black and white produce two things.................white milk and black (something that rhymes with wit).
Have to ask......
What does a black and white cow with a cross on its side produced?
Or is that too witty :dizzy:
All jokes aside, not a huge pancake fan, but since learning Maple syrup (real stuff) is rather delicious, that on top of Pecans and proper vanilla ice cream slapped on a pancake is really nice.
Then good smokey bacon and maple syrup on a pancake ain't bad either.
All courtesy my 6 months in Hawaii.
At your age why don't you just throw the whole shebang in a blender and drink it? Yer stomach ain't gonna know the difference anyway AND you wont have to put your teeth in.
A 50/50 mix of Southern Comfort and Hershey's Syrup makes a pretty good topping for pancakes also.

Did I say I didn't do that?
About 50 years ago my mother acquired a blender for her kitchen. I soon discovered just how incredibly convenient that danged thing was. I was told my grandpa always said the food was all going to end up in the same place anyway so why eat it one item at a time. Also, 50 years ago as a teenage boy I didn't have time to waste on chewing food when there were better things to do. Add potatoes and gravy and you can blend dang near anything into a wonderful multi-colored slurry.
Did a Google image search to discover pikelets appear to be small-diameter pancakes with maybe a small change in the ingredients. That reminds me of the time about 55 years ago my grandmother came home from a visit to my aunt's house in Colorado and told us she ate 20 pancakes for breakfast one morning while there. I was amazed. Four was more than I could eat. Then she explained they were called silver dollar pancakes because they were barely larger than a silver dollar.
Note for youngsters: Yes. There really was a big coin known as a silver dollar back in those days. Considerably larger than the 50-cent piece you might rarely see today. Also about four times heavier than the modern 50-cent piece.
I certainly remember those coins but haven't seen a half dollar in circulation in decades.
Silver dollars were unusual but not unheard of in my childhod.
I've never liked fluffy pancakes. When I see these promotions from various restaurants about how fluffy their pancakes are, it's definitely not a selling point for me. I like my pancakes a little more dense (like me) and cooked in a little veggie oil to make a crispy edge. Also, a large spoonful of sour cream mixed in to your favorite batter recipe will make it doubly awesome. Yum!
Bet you love potato latkes.
As for pancakes, the fluffier the better. That way they can soak up more dairy product.
A small town lumber yard here was famous for passing out 50-cent pieces when making change. My favorite odd money is a two-dollar bill. People will remember you when you hand them one or more of those when paying for something. Especially a waitress expecting a one dollar tip.
I have heard/ read more than one story of people handing a clerk a 2$ bill in an attempt to pay for an item and being told "that's not legal tender".
I had a teenage waitress once who thought it was Monopoly money.:blush::blush::blush:

At my house we keep two types of syrup, tree sap (aka maple syrup) and the good stuff, Cane syrup (preferably ribbon cane). My wife and children like the tree sap and I keep the good stuff.

Haven't seen ribbon cane syrup in years. My granddad wouldn't eat his breakfast grits without it. Seems as though it use to come in a 'paint' can like sorghum molasses. I'm sure HEB stores in Texas sell it...;)
Cane syrup is one of the greatest marvels of mankind.
Like cheese, it adds to whatever it is used with.
The Sandy creek bottoms were full of cane patch and syrup works were more plentiful than saw mills in Wood County.
My goto for sweetener has become Clover Honey as most cane has been burned away in Cass County.
Cane syrup. I imagine it's what we call Golden Syrup. Next in strength is Treacle, then Molasses.
All good stuff. Each has its place in various culinary delights.
Pikelets were common part of the diet in my youngest day.
Spread with anything on hand. Even Vegemite

That'd be funny, until she called over the sheriff's deputy who happened to be sitting on the other side of the restaurant and he'd never seen one either.
