Anybody who is tempted to question my use of frozen pancake batter might want to stop and think about what pancakes really are. They are flour and milk drowned in butter and some form of sugar. They’re crap. As far as food value, you might as well take Crisco, whip it up with powdered sugar, and spread it on your face. I am not saying they’re not delicious or that you shouldn’t eat them but they’re a luxury, a recreation, like smoking marijuana or having sex.
