Best Ever Pancakes from Martha

School’s  been in session for three months.  Really?  I’ve been in a whirlwind of what?  Where have the days gone?  Am I the only one that’s wondering what’s happening to time?  Let’s slow time down.  Do you agree?  I want to enjoy, just soak it all in, live each second before it slips away.  I don’t want to miss a thing!  What about you?

We are in the middle of our quick bread unit.  I’m so happy with what my students have done so far!  They are doing a fabulous job in the lab!  I will say this, adding a stop watch to my Promethean board  has been the best motivator! Students have to be seated at their tables by a certain time  in order to make an A . It really has helped them to focus and  use their time wisely.  You know I should do the same thing in my kitchen!!!

The pancake lab really needed very little improvement.  It was a great day in the kitchen.

At home I gave Martha’s best ever pancakes a try and they are easy and very worth making!  It’s just a basic recipe that everyone can use anytime.  Enjoy some pancakes with your family this fall and make some great memories!
