Breakfast of Champions. Or, Alternately, Mach 4 with Her Hair on Fire


Willfull and Deliverance here. Today was a very special day because Willfull beat her record time for running a mile. Previously, the fastest mile she'd run had been completed in 7 minutes and 23 seconds, but this morning she wittled that time down to 7 minutes and 9 seconds!

To celebrate Willfull's accomplishment, Deliverance made chocolate chip strawberry pancakes! Breakfast of champions! The pancake batter recipe is included at the end of the post. Here's the visual instructions:

Pour your batter into little circles on your griddle. Then sprinkle them with sliced strawberries and chocolate chips. Preferably big chocolate chips. Preferable big Ghiradelli chocolate chips.


Then flip your cakes over. See if you can take a picture of one of the cakes in mid-air.


Put them on a plate with butter, maple syrup (the real stuff, not that corn syrup with the yucky colors), bacon and a strawberry cut into the shape of a fan. Then eat!



And now for the recipe...
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1 egg
around a quarter cup of vegetable oil
and enough milk to make a nice pourable batter.
I know that it may seem that I should made something a bit more calorie conscience but you must remember that she had just worked off enough calories to cover two of these breakfast...don't you think? Besides everyone needs a bit of chocolate and strawberries in their life every now and again!!
Singing off for now. Love you! BYE!!
