Whole wheat pancakes

My previous pancakes were a hit (at least with Nandini). Well, I can't take any credit for it because, it's my guruji Alton Brown's recipe. If you liked that one you will love this one. I usually don't use whole wheat for baking- if you are using 3 eggs, 2 sticks of butter, butter to grease the pan, might as well use APF :P

This was my first time trying pancakes with whole wheat (only because guruji used it). It was better than the APF pancakes.

Whole wheat pancakes: From Alton Brown's, I am just here for more food.

Dry ingredients-

1C whole wheat flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

3 Tbsp sugar

Wet ingredients-

1 egg

1 cup milk (or buttermilk at room temperature)

2 Tbsp melted butter

1) Mix the dry ingredients.

2) Whisk the wet ingredients.

3) Add the wet ingredients to the dry one. Do not over mix.

4) Set aside for 10 mins.

5) Smear butter on a hot girdle and pour a ladle of a batter. Flip once you see bubbles and the bottom is golden.

6) Cook till second side is golden.

No people, those are not bullet wounds.

And since many of said you like the pictures, one more:

Nandu, I hope this is your breakfast/lunch/dinner today ;)

UPDATE: For all those people who asked me if egg can be omitted, I honestly don't know! But my favoritest vegan blog has an eggless recipe for pancakes (she in fact has 2) Vegan Yum Yum.

Mid-term exam

Name: SJ

Date: 07/23/09

Course name: AIO900: Topics in common sense and nonsense

Watch the video below and follow the instructions given-

Instructions: This exam is worth 150 points toward your grade for the course. For each question, write a 20=30 word short answer in response. Please type your responses. You will be graded on your understanding of the issue(s) related to each question, your ability to draw on examples, as well the articulation of your own conclusions and reasoning on these issues. Remember that your argument will be more important than the specific answer or stance you take on an issue.

However, all responses must be written in your own words. Plagiarism will not be tolerated. If you specifically mention the ideas or experimental results of others, they should be cited. (Please use “(Author, Year)” format in the text.)

1) Would you prance around town in that saree-bra-blouse-dupatta whatever that she is wearing?

Umm..no because my tummy looks like an anaconda that has swallowed a bison whole. I don't want to give anyone on the road a heart attack.

2) Will you give directions to a strange helmet man?

No, the helmet man might be Osama bin laden in disguise. I don't want antharax all over me, no thank you. Tomato ketchup/chutney/cake frosting/frooti/ice cream etc are all ok, but not antharax.

3) Will you accept pink teddy bears from the strange helmet man?

Of course, I will. I live, breathe and eat free. I would collect as much of those as I can and sell them.

4) Are you wiling to run from one end of the road to the other for no reason?

Unless I have my mom chasing me for not doing my homework or Jay running behind me with an axe because I burned the house down during one of my cooking experiments, I don't run. So no, I won't run, maybe catwalk?

5) What would you do if you find out the helmet guy is John Abraham?

Take him to a five star restaurant, gorge on the food and make him foot the bill. Then take him to a secluded place and hurt him for dating Bipasha and finally give him a haircut and a shave.

6) What if Pankaj Udas was nearby?

I would get his autograph, then photograph and beg him to give his belt and coat. Then put all these on e-bay.

7) Your reaction when you saw, 'Marry me..huh?'

No bling, no chocolates, no house, no car, 1 useless bike where I am supposed to put the grocery and the kids? On my head?

I hope I get full marks on this exam, pray for me guys.
