On Fristmas Morning (a fake holiday I made to celebrate with my husband back when we used to spend Christmas apart, see Fakesgiving) I decided to do something special and bring out my Stuffed Pancake pan that I got as a wedding gift. I had only used it once so I decided it was time for round two. I found this awesome sounding recipe for caramel and apple stuffed pancakes topped with ice cream. Now, I know eating ice cream for breakfast is probably not that healthy but hey, it was Fristmas.
The recipe sounded easy enough. I mean you just make caramel out of sugar. How hard can that be? Well after the fourth attempt and a burned finger I was about the throw in the towel on the whole stuffed pancake thing. But I finally made something that resembled caramel so I went with it. I'm pretty sure it was actually just burnt sugar. Either way I managed to finish the pancakes. They tasted kind of weird so I just added extra ice cream to cover up the odd tasting caramel and semi burnt pancakes. Oh well. I gave myself an A- for effort. Next time (in like a year) I will buy pre-made caramel sauce because I think this could actually be really good.
Things started looking up again when we finally got Hobie to wear his cool new hat.
OK, so have you ever tried to make stuffed pancakes?
Have you ever had breakfast that included ice cream?
Do you know how to make caramel? (clearly I could use some tips)
