I chuckled when I read about "How to Make a 3 minute chocolate mug cake." The recipe and photo make it appear wonderfully easy and delicious.
All of us have favorite recipes we turn to again and again. One of mine is called 'Favorite Pancakes' and it's from the classic Betty Crocker's Cookbook. My wife and I received it as a wedding gift 35 years ago. The book has its share of grease and batter stains and like a dog eared Bible that's a good thing. Here is the very simple, uncluttered recipe for two servings:
1 egg
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons salad oil
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Generally you beat all this together and have fun making them on your griddle. ( I throw some blueberries on top before I turn them to reveal the golden undersides. We enjoy them with pure maple syrup, some whipped cream, and a little sausage and Heinz ketchup .)
By the way, Betty Crocker was invented by a food company in 1921 to give a personalized response to consumer product questions.
What do you enjoy making because it's always so good?
