N and I couldn't be with our mothers today, but decided to make a special brunch anyway. Chocolate pancakes! We used pre-made pancake mix and cocoa powder, nothing fancy, and the first batch came out fine. But then I decided to add more chocolate (is anyone surprised?) and decided to add more water with it, which made the second batch kinda weird and flat, almost like cookies. N compensated by adding more mix to the third batch and they were okay, but we learned our lesson, which is to leave well enough alone! And also that we should probably start from scratch if we're going to experiment.
But, they were yummy anyway! We topped with low fat butter, powdered sugar and syrup and/or lemon juice
Happy Mother's Day to our faraway Moms! We're thinking of you today, and how your pancakes are always perfect.
