mistake gone right

Whipping cream pancakes

 

let me preface this with......I had heavy cream in the house (3 pints) to make ice cream.......planning on still making some soon!

 

this is a bad photo of the LAST bites

 

they were sooo good

 

I was out of milk and my buttermilk had gone soooo bad.....my options were soy creamer or whipping (heavy) cream

 

so I invented a recipe that worked

 

1 cup whipping cream

1/4 cup simple syrup

1 T vanilla

2 eggs

2 T baking powder

1 cup flour (I used all purpose)

1/2 t salt

juice of 1/2 a lemon

 

I usually mix the batter first and let it sit/soften the gluten about 20 minutes or more

 

when the batter did not look bubbly like it normally does I thought i was doomed

BUT i think the larger fat molecules of the cream might have inhibited the baking powder from festering

 

so I proceeded to cook just one pancake to test it and it sure rose on the griddle and acted nice and fluffy....I flipped it without a tear or losing any batter.....and then after it was done cooking.....I tasted it without syrup...and YUM

 

so I made some maple butter syrup and sausages and the batter made 8 large pancakes!

 

yummy breakfast!
