How to improve your dog's pancakes.

Melissa Clark writes, "You know the old chestnut that the first pancake you fry is for the dog? That’s because if you haven’t let the batter rest, those first few pancakes will turn out too thin, with the batter running all over the pan. Letting the batter rest fixes this, giving the flour time to hydrate and the batter a chance to thicken. It also lets the leaveners (baking soda and baking powder) fully dissolve and disperse, so you get an even rise."

The Only Dinner That Never Lies

Daily writing promptWhat’s your favorite thing to cook?View all responses Here’s the thing. I don’t have a favorite thing to cook because I’m a foodie or because I watched some idiot yell at risotto on cable TV.

The food equivalent of a middle finger to culinary pretension. Spaghetti is […]
