Recipe: Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

Subject: Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
Recipe: Found on Stumbleupon
How I fared: Horribly

Yes. This round definitely earned an F. Following directions was easy, to start with, but putting it into action was terrible. Not only was I frustrated but there were several uses of inappropriate language.

It sort of went like this:

Hubs: I'll start the bacon and eggs.
Me: *nods* *furrows brow* *pours batter* Dammit!
Hubs: What happened?
Me: Look... *we both stare at half the batter in the pan the other half out*

By the fourth try I was able to keep the batter in the pan, add cinnamon mix (with a plastic spoon) - bag instructions they offered blew this beginner out of the water.

Thoughts: Maybe next time I'll just add the cinnamon to the batter... it'd probably taste the same.

So, I'm sure you're all interested in a photo.

Here is what it was supposed to look like...




Here is what mine looks like. Clearly the swirl is not my area of expertise... and yes, this was with the spoon (it was difficult regardless). You also don't see much cinnamon on the finished product (the other side was awful), but you can see it is indeed a pancake.




Verdict:
Looks - Like a pancake (though my kitchen was atrocious)
Taste - Delicious

Question: Have you had any beginner mishaps?

  2. I have mishaps all the time. They don't need to be beginning bloopers. Now I'm hungry for pancakes. Think I'll go out for them at Mimi's. They make awesome pancakes! Good luck with your new blog.

  3. Yes...putting the cinnamon stuff in a baggie and snipping the corner would have probably made it much easier!! LOL!! But if it taste good, who cares what it looks like!!

  18. I give you kudos for trying. There are certain things I am GREAT at cooking and certain things I am NOT. I have a feeling this recipe would be one I'd fail at.
