Consolation Prize
Since Ms. B. and I missed out on our traditional
Mabry Mill breakfast yesterday (“Another Parkway Pilgrimage”), I made myself a bunch of killer slapjacks — along with a side of bacon —
for this morning’s breakfast. They really are not fancy or complicated; just
some Hungry Jack pancake mix, an egg, some milk, and a splash of
Southern Butter Pecan coffee creamer in the batter, cooked on the cast
iron skillet. Some real butter and maple syprup, et voilá... massively
satisfying slapjacks. Not quite Mabry Mill’s combo of buckwheat, sweet potato,
and flour pancakes, which is absolutely my favorite, but I’d rack these suckers
up against just about anything else.
