Pancakes

Turns out, pancakes out of the box are pretty good. I am happy to have learned that while filming the episode. I love pancakes. So much so, that I wrote a short film based around the recipe that I use, you can find that here.

My best advice if you want something even more simple than the Full Measure recipe is to use the same method for adding the lemon zest to the milk and using the rest of the box mix recipe. Either way, you’re going to end up with pancakes and thats a good day.
