Flapjacks...!?














The season is filled with parties and celebrations. Besides the holidays we have had two birthdays in the family this month with one more coming in mid-January. I have been cooking and baking and everything got vacuumed up by guests and family members before I even had a chance to get the camera out. So forget about pics and/or recipes for now. Except for today, when our younger one complained that "how come no dessert to go with the dinner"? And this in a family where desserts are usually served only once or twice a month. I suppose the onset of addiction to sweets is very rapid.

So... I told the wise guy to go and find a recipe that he can prepare for himself - thinking that he will abandon the idea. Wrong! After googling a bit he decided on a flapjack. He apparently was vacillating between two recipes: old fashioned and Epicurious's pancake type flapjacks , but then he still decided to go with the simpler one.

We all enjoyed his creation, it brought back memories :) for the older generation, and I promised to prepare a batch of the pancakey version soon.
