Flavorful Flapjacks

  I love to leave y'all tasty tidbits. And today I figured,  flapjacks! Now,  you might already have a recipe, and it might be close to this. But you know me. My recipes are full of possibilities and variety, which means you can do what you please. And as usual, I've researched that, so you don't have to. So grab yourself a spatula, and let's get into it.

Like I said, you probably already have something similar to this. I was helped by Cooks magazine. (Not a sponsor.) But my specialty has been, for some time, ways you can change it. Play with it. Just go crazy. At least, metaphorically. And today, I've researched some of those ways. The thing is, it just made sense to put them at the end. So I'll lay out the basics, and then later, ways to go crazy. To make generic flapjacks, you'll need:

1-1/4 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 Tbsp. White sugar (For Brown, use half.)

• 2 tbsp. baking powder

• ¼ tsp. salt (Optional)

• 1 large beaten egg

• 1 cup milk

• 2 Tbsp. cooking oil

• First off, you'll mix all your dry ingredients in a large bowl, until they're thoroughly combined. Next, in a smaller bowl, mix your eggs, milk, and oil. Pour these into your dry ingredients, and then combine everything. Finally, pour it onto a pre-heated griddle, carefully, in 1/4 cup portions. Flip the cakes at 5 second intervals, or until the first side is golden brown, and the second has no more wet spots. Then remove them from the griddle to a platter immediately, using care, as both griddle and cakes will be hot. And if you like that, enjoy!

• But if you're like me, basic is borng. So, as I suggested, try them with brown sugar. Or add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to your dry ingredients. Although, you may want to increae your sugar with that. Alternatively, you could just add chocoate chips. Want something festive? use half a teaspoon of cinnamon, or a pinch of nutmeg. And for holidays, a combination of steel cookie cutters and food coloring will give you a plate of green shamrocks, red hearts, or something else entirely! The salt isn't nececsscary, and leaving it out will help with blood pressure as well as diabetes. And for a more filling flapjack, use whole wheat for at least half of your flour. And these are just a few ideas. The sky really is the limit!
