2 a.m. Pancakes

What do you do when you have a not-so-great night out in Montreal? You stumble back to your apartment with some friends and make pancakes! I can think of no better way to improve any situation. These babies are great for Sunday breakfast, or Wednesday dinner. Really, they're not that bad for you so feel free to whip them up at any time.

The recipe is another one from the Tassajara Breadbook that Caitlin is mildly obsessed with, and their pancakes, like their banana bread, are absolutely phenomenal.

SO GOOOOOOOOOD. And much healthier than the other 2 a.m. lower-plateau area option, $2 chow mein.

Whole Wheat Pancakes:

2 cups whole wheat flour

3 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp brown sugar or honey

3 eggs, separated (as if we separated...)

2 cups milk

1/2 cup oil

We didn't add any interesting filling because we were a little preoccupied with getting good food into our stomachs ASAP, but blueberries, chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit are a great addition. One time we made them with fresh strawberries and chocolate. It was to die.

Blend the dry ingredients and then fold in the wet. Heat a griddle or frying pan to medium with a little bit of butter so the pancakes don't stick, and watch for bubbles on the raw side so you know when it's time to do the first flip. 

if you're super creative like us, cut them into fun shapes! Enjoy your healthy drunk food experience.
