Holy Pancake

First of all, thank you to my sister for inspiring this.

Also, thank you GQ magazine for the recipe. I don't normally do this, but this thing was too awesome not to share with everyone.

This is the perfect hangover breakfast. Why? Because it's beyond easy. It honestly takes no effort whatsoever, but the results are impressive, relatively quick, and will have you forgetting about the 10 beers and splitting-booze headache because of its overall deliciousness.

Here is what you need:

• 1/2 cup of flour
• 1/2 cup of milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 lemon
• 3 tablespoons of butter
• Confectioner sugar

It's even better if you have:

• A pinch of nutmeg
• A teaspoon of vanilla extract

Pre-heat the oven to 425. Combine the flour, milk, eggs, sugar, salt, nutmeg, and vanilla extract in a bowl and whisk until everything is properly mixed.

Place the butter in a saute pan and melt. Once the butter has melted, pour the batter into the pan and place it immediately into the oven.




And now you're done. Leave it in there for 20 minutes, once the edges are nice and brown. Don't take it out early. I got distracted by the Ravens/Chiefs game, lost track of time, and pulled it out after 10 minutes. This was a very sad pancake.



Just be patient and leave it in there. I quickly whipped up another one, left it in the oven for the full 20 minutes, and my results yielded a nicely browned, magic fucking pancake.




Squeeze some fresh lemon juice over it, dust it with confectioner sugar, and start tearing away it. If you have good maple syrup laying around, you're going to want to get that involved as well. Think of it as a dipping sauce.

This thing is so awesome I can't wait to make more of them. It actually has a lot of versatility. You could make a desert out of it by drizzling chocolate syrup over it and eating it with ice cream.Or you could go the savory route, by maybe cutting the sugar, upping the salt a bit and hitting it with some olive oil and parmesan cheese. I'm definitely going to play around with this a bit.

So go make this. Make it for a group of people but don't explain how easy it is. I'm trying to make you look good.
