we have the same day off carob pancakes (and no baking powder)

adapted from the JOY of cooking  |pp. 211-12|

*yields roughly 8 or so 5in. heaven disks

sift: 

2  c unbleached all-purpose flour

2 1/2  palm fulls of sugar

1 tsp salt

3/4 c carob powder

in a second bowl (should be wide/stainless steel nesting bowl):

separate two eggs (crack and play catch with the shells and the yolk over the bowl)

put yolks aside

with a whisk, beat the shit out of those two egg whites until they’re stiff but not dry (7-10 minutes)

beat yolks 

add yolks and 

1 1/4 c of milk to flour

mix thoroughly

fold in beaten egg whites (don’t break the foam…)

heat a cast-iron skillet on low-med heat with a dash of sunflower oil (for some reason i think the oil really made this all happen so beautifully)

ladle to about 5 inches in diameter…i even spread it like pizza sauce onto the pan with the back of a spoon

flip when you see six substantial bubbles in the middle of the cake

enjoy with farmer butter and maple syrup 

(andrew had a fried egg on the side)
