Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend [email protected] for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Just chipping in to say we don't do American style pancakes here, but we got an electric crepe plate as a present years ago from my sister in law ... I wasn't very appreciative at the time, but that thing is awesome! (Sister in law has been thanked for it many times since BTW)

I love whole wheat, so I take this recipe and use brown sugar instead of honey to make it sweet. It's healthy and delicious, and goes great with tofu scrambles.
Maybe the missing ingredient is real butter in the pan? That always brings out so much extra flavor.
I always use real butter in the pan, but I'll be honest, the thing that made me write this post was I was considering trying melted butter in the mix! I'm gettin' desperate here!
For "real butter", try specifically a "cultured butter" like Kerrygold. There's butter and then there's cultured butter, and cultured butter has way more of a concentrated butter taste. Your average supermarket butter is basically just milk fat that's been aerated but not aged at all, think of the difference in flavor between mozarella and an aged cheddar cheese. Using a cultured butter for your pancakes is probably the fastest and easiest way to zhuzh them up, along with real maple syrup.
put the vinegar in with the soy milk n heat it up for like 15-20 seconds (so it's warm not hot). then leave it for a minute before you add it to the dry stuff
I really feel like this one is ultra promising, and I have all the ingredients. It's definitely going on the list! Thanks!
1 1/3 cup AP
2 T sugar
1 t baking soda
1 t baking powder
1 t kosher salt
1 2/3 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
2 T salted butter, melted
Mix it all together
This is the NYT cooking recipe it is the best, I make them every other Saturday
Ooh, thank you very much! I put this on the list to try. Very exciting!
It's so good that I hand wrote it and laminated it lest it vanish from the internet
That definitely bodes well. I have a few of those. One day I want to write all my favorites down on index cards like my foremoms did.
