If you know my grandma at all, you wouldn't be surprised to learn that on Thursday, a box from Williams-Sonoma showed up on my doorstep! I actually left it by the door forever, not able to figure out what I'd ordered, thinking maybe it was an early birthday present that I shouldn't open. After we returned from a Costco shopping trip that night, it dawned on me, so the boys and I ripped it open and found the outer space pancake molds. Danny and Isaac were VERY excited. So I promised pancakes in the morning.
Of course, they were a bit of a pain in the butt. And mine do not look nearly as pretty as the ones that Wiliams-Sonoma shows, but whatever. We loved them. And the recipe was absolutely delicious.
The last moon and planet got a little brown--there were a couple little boys who felt like fighting all morning and Mama got distracted.
Now for the delicious recipe:
Outer Space Pancakes
2 eggs, beaten until frothy (I think this was the secret)
2 C flour, sifted (I used all soft white wheat, of course)
2 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
3 T sugar
1 t salt
2 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
3 T sugar
1 t salt
21/2 C buttermilk (had none, so I used sour cream watered down slightly--wouldn't have ever known!)
4 T melted butter
1/2 t vanilla
4 T melted butter
1/2 t vanilla
Beat eggs, set aside.
Whisk together dry ingredients.
Stir everything together, but just until it smooths out. Don't over beat.
YUM! I think these could have been soaked, too, of course I'll plan on trying it in the future.
