Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Clayton Hribar

    Take your flour, sugar, and baking powder and introduce them to each other in a bowl.

  2. Clayton Hribar

    In a separate bowl, acquaint the buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and Japanese mayo. Mix vigorously. (Don’t worry about the Mayo smell, it will cook out.)

  3. Clayton Hribar

    Combine all the ingredients into one bowl and mix it real good.

  4. Clayton Hribar

    What you’re going to need now are some cardboard molds to shape the pancakes. Take an empty milk carton and cut parallel with the bottom to create a 2-3 inch wide band. Staple the band into a circle and line with wax paper.

  5. Clayton Hribar

    After you have heated up a pan (make sure it’s hot!), place the molds and fill them with the batter. Cover and cook each side for 10 minutes.

I eat a lot, but I keep it healthy. Without sacrificing the taste of course! Coming up with ideas and spreading knowledge are what I want to do and I'm glad to be a part of Spoon U!
