Post-Show Pancakes

For theatre students, closing parties tend to be like a huge sigh: everything gets to fly. The parties can sometimes be, unsurprisingly, dramatic. With Rent singalongs.

The last party was in November, but I've only now been able to make this post now because other school stuff has been eating up my time. Now, I'm totally unoccupied. Roommate isn't even here. So, we blog.

This last party was very close to our house, so we played host to four other cast members. In total, our little apartment was full of six people. In my - er - state, I somehow managed to put down the futon, get PJs for one person, make tea, throw Roommate into bed and go down to storage for another blanket. Why? Or more importantly, how? Who knows.

Anyway, the night was followed by a brunch at a nearby, delicious breakfast place. On other occasions, I've managed to wrangle up a batch of pancakes. They are delicious and easy. The recipe is on the side of the fridge.

I had to take it with my cellphone, so the quality of the picture leaves much to be desired. But you get the idea.

Here is the recipe

Bestest Pancakes EVAAAR

1 1/3 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 cups milk
3 tablespoons melted butter or oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Combine all dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, beat egg; add milk. Add vanilla.
Make a well in dry ingredients, and add the liquid.
Stir just until combined. Lumpy is good.
