How Batter Blaster made my kids love me a bit more than my wife


Batter Blaster is a can of pancakes.

Organic pancake batter in a co2 recyclable can. Found it at the whole foods in SF and threw it in the cart because my wife is the pancake batter maker so if I'm in charge of bfast I always default to french toast cause I can't do the pancakes. As a result my children love my wife more than me (she puts chocolate chips in the homemade batter) and I want to turn the tide a bit. Not so much that they want to play with me incessantly but you know, some.

Anyway, I got the can home and Saturday morning while she was doing some kind of overpriced, Yogalates thing, the boys and I got after the cakes.

I had them spray out the batter onto the griddle (except the little one who had to steer a bit clear of the heat). and they tried making them into kind of funny shapes but ended up using the chocolate chips we put on top as the decorating mechanism.

We got them cooking, heated up the syrup (everyone heats syrup right?) and ate them up.

We made about 20 from the can. we usually refrigerate extras. They were good. A bit more sugar or salt in the taste perhaps and not up to mom's homemade but a hell of a lot better than the frozen waffles that would have been the alternative that morning. They seem to be a good alternative to just about everything but homemade. So if you like the pancakes, and you want to be able to get them made faster, easier, cleaner etc. than homemade then go out and get a can.


Enjoy!

  1. I can see why your children would **cough cough** love you more now. I mean who wouldn't love squirting pancakes from a can. Hey we all used to rush to the whipped cream can when we were kids and inject that creamy goodness (once we realized that you had to hold it upside down in order to get that darned stuff until you heard the gas sound) into our mouths. And then listen to mom when she relaized the can was empty and the pie was not decorated.

    Thanks for visiting my blog.
