Blender Pancakes

Blender Pancakes make breakfast quick, easy, and delicious. Make your batter all in one container that easily transfers to the griddle for easy clean up. It's absolutely awesome.

As I've travelled around the world, I've learned a thing or two about pancakes, the main lesson being that my dad makes the best pancakes in the world. It's perfectly normal for us to think the thing that we grew up with is the only version of something. How would we know any different unless we've experienced another way to do things?

As I've expanded my awareness of other cultures, I've learned things that have definitely opened my eyes to better ways of doing things. I've become a person who walks for transportation, I've learned to pay all my bills at an ATM, and I've opened my heart and mouth to food my childhood self would never have imagined me eating. And I've learned that pancakes can mean a looooooot of different things. And while nothing can ever top what I grew up with, other versions are also awesome.

What makes Blender Pancakes so awesome?

These Blender Pancakes are thinner than typical American buttermilk pancakes but thicker than a typical English pancake which as far as I can tell is just a French crepe. They're buttery and a bit sweet, tender yet sturdy. But the coolest thing about them is that the whole thing happens in a blender and a frying pan. You don't need to bother with combining wet and dry in separate bowls. Just chuck everything in the blender and whizz it up.

And because a blender is made for pouring, you also dont' need a ladle or measuring cup to transfer the batter from bowl to skillet. Just pour it straight out of the pitcher or container of your blender. How easy is that? It makes it super simple to get a tasty hot breakfast on the table with very little fuss. I'm all for that.

Make it magical

You can find the magical properties of the ingredients for this recipe at the Kitchen Magick page, but today, I thought we'd focus on the blender. We often think of blessing and focusing energy through more old school tools like kitchen knives, wooden spoons, and big heavy iron pots, but any cooking tool can carry magical energy if you give it that intention.

So bless your blender as a tool of transmutation. It gives energy to a mixture of ingredients by breaking them down and seamlessly recombining them into a smooth mixture. Let it be a tool to bring disparate energy together into something greater than the sum of its parts. Anything can be magick if you believe that it is.

Tips for making Blender Pancakes

These are ridiculously simple. You're going to add all your batter ingredients to a blender, then mix it together with long pulses. The only trick that might arise is if some of your dry ingredients stick to the side of the container. Just use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides and blend again.

Before you're ready to cook the pancakes, make sure the skillet is nice and hot and lightly greased with butter or neutral oil. You just want a thin film of fat, not pools. Pour your batter straight from the pitcher of your blender into the skillet. These are fairly thin pancakes, so you only need a couple of minutes per side. Serve hot with all your favorite toppings.

Blender Pancakes might not be what I grew up with, but they're super awesome nonetheless.
