I made pancakes.

Let me begin by telling you that this is not a food blog. There are no pictures, because I’m not a cook. I make food that is tasty, for me, and just for me. I made the meatloaf and mashed potatoes and felt like a genius. That’s the only reason I posted it.

That being said, I am a pancake queen. I love, love, love pancakes, but I never order them when I go to diners. I don’t trust them. I make my own. Normally I make them from scratch, because it’s too easy not to. However, I’ve been getting lazy. I bought whole-wheat pancake mix. All I do is add water, and I like that. I have no patience.

So start with whole wheat pancake mix. The box said to use 1 cup of mix and ¾ cup of water, so I put all that in a bowl and mixed it.
Here’s where my genius comes in. I folded in white chocolate chip and Craisins, a handful of each… but it gets better. After my pancakes were done, I took a can of sliced peaches and rinsed them. I hate the syrup, but I hate peeling and slicing my own peaches even more, so I’ll rinse the shit out of canned ones instead. I put 2 tablespoons of butter.

Yeah, two. I’m fat, does this shock you?

Two tablespoons of butter in a really hot pan so it starts melting and getting a little brown right away. Dump the drained peaches in. DON’T GET WATER IN THE BUTTER. IT WILL SPATTER AND HURT LIKE HELL. Swish the peaches around in the butter, and put like a handful of brown sugar over top of all of it, then a few shakes of pumpkin pie spice. Mix it all together on high heat so the peaches cook down. Then get your potato masher. Yup, potato masher. The same one we use to make, GET THIS, the mashed potatoes.

Mash the shit out of the peaches and butter and sugar. Now spoon way too much of it over top of your pancakes. Enjoy your new ass.
