Pancakes = The weekends. Saturday & Sunday relaxation time…
But for me, standing over the stove cooking pancakes and praying that they don’t burn (which in my case they do… a lot), is not my idea of relaxing. It’s more like panic, panic to not burn breakfast.
I do not have the patience for pancakes. Well… I do not have the patience for pancakes on the stove top.
But in the oven, I can do that.
Just like bacon. I can not cook bacon on the stove top, but in the oven I can make the perfect bacon.
Back to the Baked Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes.
So this morning I wanted Pancakes, Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes. I’ve seen them all over the internet and I wanted them! Like now!!
When we do have pancakes, I usually make the batter and then make hubby cook them.
But today, hubby had to run errands real quick so I was in charge. humm.
Well I had the batter ready, and didn’t want to wait.
I can do this.
3 burnt pancakes later….FAIL…
I turned the stove off and came back to the computer to look something up and just so happened to have Robin’s Big Red Kitchen still pulled up from something I was looking at earlier.
Out of habit, I scrolled down the page and there it was … baking pancakes in a jelly roll pan in the oven.
Could that have come at a better time.. I don’t think so.
Why didn’t I think I that!
I started making bacon in the oven because I couldn’t do it on the stove top, I just started using my cookie sheet with the sides to bake cakes to make Cake Rolls, why didn’t I think to bake pancakes!
