Guess who had pancakes for breakfast this morning….

I bought Batter Blaster this week, and the verdict is quite positive!

A few days ago, I tried it out for the first time. The first batch came out a little flat and uninspiring, but that may have been my tentative wariness projected into pancake format. The second batch was much better and really came out like real pancakes in size and shape.

I don’t know if the pancake taste was the finest I’ve ever tasted, but it definitely held its own in terms of standard pancake flavor. Of course the syrup is a critical piece to this (and who knows how long that syrup has been in my fridge…). Also, I think I had a small mental block with regards to the taste- thinking this is too good to be true. Food that is this easy to make shouldn’t taste good.

By the end of the second batch, my anti-sweet tooth got sugar fatigue, so I didn’t try anymore. But it was very promising. This morning, I whipped up another batch. They came out great again, and I even made a set with chocolate chips.

After having used Batter Blaster, I realized another reason why it is genius. Besides the effort and the cleanup required with making batter from scratch, there’s also the issue of portion size. However much batter you make is how many pancakes you’ll have. And generally no matter how many you make, you’ll have the same number of dirty dishes.

With Batter Blaster, you could make just ONE pancake if you wanted. Or twenty! I am often cooking for one, plus I have a low tolerance for pancakes and sweets, so the idea of easily cooking just 1-2 pancakes filled me with glee. I would never make pancakes from scratch if I knew I were only making two.  Now if they could only figure out how to put chicken cordon bleu in a pressurized can…
