so another adventure in the world of making food. yesterday i decided to make pancakes, even though i was starting to feel quit ill (and am now in bed with a high fever and awful cough). i dragged out the ingredients and set off on my journey to learn how to make something new.

i have learned that i should stick to baking. cooking things in pans seems to be far from my grasp still.

i made a mess, a very very big mess. my pancakes came out in chunks because i could not get them to stay round, i think our stove is tilted a bit due to old floor, and so it kept wanting to go to the side of the pan. i think i also used a pan that was way too large for what i was trying to achieve. and i’m too impatient and kept wanting to go ahead and flip the pancakes before their time.

the pancakes themselves, while not visually appealing, came out pretty good. not burnt like i worried they would be. nice and golden and fluffy. i was pretty impressed with myself because the directions i used were based on making a large number of pancakes but i was able to size down the ingredients needed to make 2 pancakes, or what would have been 2 pancakes if they had stayed together.

so my question to you, cooking people, how the hell do you get them to be round? lol am i just out of luck or is there some trick i’m not familiar with here??
