Pancakes!!

About a week ago I picked up something at the grocery store I had never seen. I bet you've never seen it either!

It's not only amazing, but an idea that is long long long overdue:

Organic Batter Blaster Original Pancake and Waffle Batter...in a spray can, like whipped cream.

I know. I know. I have just rocked your world!

Sit down. Take a few deep breaths! Now run out to your local Whole Foods or Trader Joe's and get some!!!

But before you do...

Who actually thought of this?? Really, is whipping up a batch of pancake or waffle batter that hard? Seriously, Bisquick, some milk, a few eggs, stir a few times and VOILA! pancake/waffle batter. It's not labor intensive or even tedious.

And the pancake batter in a can seems very un-green and un-organic to me. The can says to recycle but I don't know where to recycle steel. I'm sure I'd have to drive to wherever that is done. Steel is not part of the recycling reportoire here in the building where I live. It's not on the list of approved recyclables that I have on my fridge for my reference.

But it's a novelty and I just had to try it. I heated up the skillet and sprayed ("blasted") the batter into the pan...and it was a flop. Why is the very first pancake a flop? Or is it just me? I mean every time I make pancakes the first one is a total dud. Does this happen to cooks at restaurants? Does it happen to you?

Anwyay...first pancake ended up in the garbage. All the rest were beautiful. I was really looking forward to having them.

What a disappointment, they were chewy and not very flavorful. They were bland and not fluffy.

The good thing about the spray pancake batter in a can is that all the ingredients are orgnanic and each pancake had two grams of fiber.

Other people might enjoy this more than I did. Organic spray pancake batter in a can is not for me. No amount of syrup or butter could have improved them enough for my liking. Give me good ol' Bisquick pancakes any day!
