What makes these pancakes Samurai? How about because they roll up on you in broad daylight and assassinate you with flavor arrows?I make 'em like so...Mix the dry ingredients:Flour (2.5 cups)Baking Powder (1 tbls)Salt (1 tsp)Sugar (1 cup)Mix the wet ingredients:Butter (1 stick, softened)Eggs (2)Milk (1 cup)Combine the dry and wet ingredients and mix them thoroughly.Then I add the peanut butter. You can add as much as you want, but more than 1/4 cup starts to mess with the consistence of the batter. A few table spoons is probably good. Next I add more milk. Most recipes I've seen don't call for anywhere near enough milk. I think the batter should be almost runny if your going for a light, fluffy pancake (if you like dense pancakes that make you feel like you replaced your stomach with a bolder, by all means, omit the extra milk) I add stir in about 1 cup of extra milk, or until the consistency is right.The last ingredient is chocolate. I like dark chocolate, but for this recipe I typically use milk chocolate -- mostly because it melts better and compliments the peanut butter. How much chocolate? Well, as much as you want, I guess. Spoon the batter onto a lightly greased skillet or frying pan. Flip them after about 2 minutes, or when a lot of tiny bubbles appear on the surface and the pancakes have started to rise a little.Cook them on the other side for about 1 more minute.Dash some powdered sugar on that piece and prepare to be assassinated.Post a comment if you try this. Or if you have anything to say about pancakes, peanut butter, or samurai.
