Recipes

This recipe on the card below has been handed down in the Many family since the three Magny sea captains first carried it over from France to what is now the U.S. as a form of ship's biscuits in the late 1600s.

Youngsters please have your mom or dad make these for you as they involve hot stoves and possible explosions. Be sure to have your Nikes all laced up and ready to go just in case.

Strange Pancake Recipes
There are many decent law-abiding, pancake recipes out there. But pancake batter sometimes seems to
inspire people to put strange stuff in it. Following is a collection of links to unusual pancake recipes. Please
let me know of others and I'll list them here also.

  • Chicken Pox Pancakes
    These look like faces besplattered with chicken pox. Tasty!
    Favorite part of instructions: "Arrange the strawberry chunk chicken pox all around each
    face. Use clean fingers to drop a pinch of powdered sugar on each pox for a tasty bit of pus."
  • Metamorphic Rock Pancakes
    Hardhat recommended for flipping these babies!
    Favorite part of instructions: "When I begin my unit on rock groups I tell the students they
    will be eating rocks at the conclusion of this unit. (Remember the old phrase, 'Go eat
    rocks!'?)"
  • Brown Rice Blueberry Pancakes
    Apparently uses rice flour instead of wheat flour. Why not?
  • Maple Pumpkin Pancakes
    First you have to find a maple pumpkin. But it's worth the effort.
  • One Pancake for Four People
    One big, baked pancake. Will also serve one person who is four times average circumference.
  • Blue Corn Banana Pancakes
    Wondering where all the blue food has gone? Here's some.
  • Creamed Corn Pancakes
    A good way to get rid of all those cans of creamed corn stored in your basement.
    Favorite ingredient: "12 saltine-type crackers crunched-up."
  • Spinach Pancakes
    Be strong to the finish...of breakfast, anyway. Hey, this recipe is from the Culinary Institute of America, so it must be good.
  • Beet Pancakes
    That's "beet" not "beat." Try cold with sour cream for a borscht breakfast.
  • Oaty Cakes
    Who could blame your horse for getting bored with the same old eggs Bendict and sausages every morning? Why not cook her up a big passel o' these flapjacks, pardner?
