Oh pancakes…how you complete me. Especially with your orange zest-sexiness. Walking through a maze of stores to get to the supermarket, I ran into a coffee shop full of Orange Poppy Seed Muffins. They looked absolutely amazing and the image of them hasn’t left the cob-webed corners of my brain long enough to forget them.
So I woke up this morning killing for those muffins. Dying even. Remembering the fluffiness…the cake-i-ness, and the dizzying orange smell coming from the coffee shop of fresh made muffins. And coffee.
I guess it’s safe to say then, that this little experiment was everything my heart and hormones were craving this a.m. This perfect stack of orange poppy seed pancakes could kick any cake or muffin to the curb. And the best part was not having to wait an hour cake-baking time to stuff our faces and eat like well-behaved people that we really ain’t.
For days I’ve been wondering why the hell I had poppy seeds in my cupboard. I’m more the number one fan of buying these types of cakes and muffins from — ummm, well — coffee shops. Not baking them.
Well not ny’more. This.stack.was.the.shit and totally rocked our socks.
The batter was purposely thick and creamy to create the fluffiest pancakes I’ve ever seen. And it worked.
But, if I do say so myself, the simple-to-make-it-only-took-2-seconds orange syrup was the genius piece of this concoctional puzzle. I know, not a word in the English dictionary, but it is on my blog. I break all the rules over here.
And if you’re like my kids and don’t love poppy seeds, well hey, I added theirs with chocolate chips and now I’m their best friend. For today anyway, or for now — until they have to
And I kicked the craving to the curb, but lucky for me I saved/hid (no difference) a couple pancakes where no one can find ’em for tomorrows breakfast. Insert evil laugh here. Or maybe a smart persons laugh.
