And Now For Something Completely Different...

Yeah, two posts in a row. I just couldn't stick these two together. So along with the more conventional and arguably better tasting french toast, I also made...

Pancakes? What's wrong with pancakes you say? Well, nothing really. Pancakes with a can of Mountain Dew isn't exactly a breakfast of champions but you know...oh, wait. I combined the two. Yep. Mountain Dew pancakes. I couldn't help myself. After a friend told me about his disastrous Mountain Dew pancake making experience, I was way too intrigued not to try it myself. I was determined to do (Dew? Ha...) it better. 

They look so innocent! 

I just took a basic pancake recipe and replaced the milk with Mountain Dew. I didn't have any pancake mix or I would have just done it that way, I encourage you to mess around, try different sodas, etc. Oh, how did they taste? Well....they were okay. My friends may disagree with me, but I couldn't taste the soda at all. I'm glad I tried it. I ended up leaving most of them on top of the heater by the door. 

They got eaten...
