The Daily Dog - Puppy Dog News and Daily Inspiration
WidgiePidge:
At HWS we literally have pancakes every morning. Sometimes it's accompanied by bacon... sometimes by fresh fruit... sometimes both, but we always have pancakes. Binge and I definitely connected on a pancake level when we first started dating. It was funny. I'd never met someone else who had an equal desire as mine for a good pancake.
I've been working on the PERFECT pancake recipe for years. The first ones I made were disappointing. They were too dense and heavy. A pancake should be light and fluffy, and moist inside. But I kept trying... When we lived in our old apartment and I was still going to college, I'd be up late studying and just have this crazy craving for pancakes. Our local Waffle House was actually decent so sometimes we'd make a 2 am trek there, but come on. You just can't compare waffles and pancakes.
You have been invited to join this episode of Cooking With Chase. It's fun and tasty. The star (Chase) and co-host (me) will be guiding you through our perfect pancake recipe. After years of trying (and of course, Doggy inspiration) these pancakes are finally, definitely THE HORN to your UNICORN. Essential.
First, make sure that you have an assistant. An assistant will be able to sniff things and let you know if you are doing it right. Keep an eye on the assistant, because he/she will try to put their tongue or their hair into the batter and this will not make for a tasty pancake. If the assistant lets you proceed,and is more intrigued with what you are cooking than sniffing your crotch, you are doing it right.
Bowie, this isn't your show. Scram.
Just kidding, you both can have a strawberry because you're super dooper cute.
It is important to always reward your assistant for their hard work. They don't know what to do with money, but food always talks. Chase and Bowie's favorite rewards are green beans, carrots, and strawberries. Have you tried giving your dog fresh fruits and vegetables? There are a whole bunch that are safe for your dog to enjoy and don't add on a lot of calories to their diet. Fruits and vegetables are often less abrasive on their teeth and don't build up plaque like some other chewy treats do.
A neat video recipe for dogs...

Yum yum yum *woof*
Most of the time, pits or seeds are harmful.
So this recipe....
DELICIOUS Yogurt Pancakes (new and improved)
DRY INGREDIENTS
1 cup King Arthur Unbleached Self-Rising Flour
1 pinch of salt
Large Dash of Cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder ***
WET INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup? Silk Unsweetend Coconut Milk
2 eggs
2 Tbsp Agave Nectar
1 container of Chobani Greek Yogurt (We like blueberry, coffee, lemon, or coconut)
1 tbsp oil
2 tbsp melted Brummel and Brown Yogurt butter
Put the wet and dry ingredients into separate bowls. ***DO NOT ADD THE BAKING POWDER until the very end. The coconut milk is added in small amounts to bring the mixture to a batter like consistency. I usually just eyeball the amount, which is why there is a question mark by coconut milk in the ingredient list.
After measuring out the flour and putting it into to the dry bowl, I wash out measuring cup and then put the 2 tbsp of butter into it. I set the measuring cup into a low/med heat oiled pan, so that when the butter melts it stays contained in the cup. As soon as it is melted, you can add the butter to the wet ingredient bowl.
Use a whisk and mix the dry ingredients. Then mix the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to move the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl. Mix the wet and dry ingredients using the whisk making sure that there are no clumps and the consistency is where you want it. NOW ***add the baking powder and stir lightly, just enough so that there are no clumps. Give the batter a little bit of time to puff up. It will go from being a batter to being very fluffy looking with lots of air holes. It is ready to go into the pan.
You do not want any puddles of oil in the pan. I usually use a paper towel to make sure that there is just enough oil to coat the pan and I can keep re-oiling it between pancakes, if needed.
When the edges of the pancakes start to look dry, and there are a few bubbles on the top of the pancake it is ready to flip. I find that these pancakes are usually able to be flipped sooner than I would flip a "normal" pancake. They cook pretty quickly. You want them to be a nice golden brown.
If you are unsure about whether or not your pancake is done, you can make a small cut in the middle of it and peek at the inside. It should still be moist, but there should be no goopy-ness or batter inside.
And enjoy! You've just made some delicious pancakes.
Again, give your assistant some compensation. Perhaps some belly rubs?
Hoping that Binge and I will be able to take the pups to the PA Renn Faire this year. Dogs are finally allowed. Nothing better than booze and dogs, am I right? :)
CPTBadAss:
I shouldn't have read that post at lunch time. So hungry now. And that list of things that puppers can eat is really helpful. I gotta experiment with Armani when I see her.
Also ugh, I've hung out with you guys a few times and we never had pancakes! :(
WidgiePidge:
My apologies- Did not want to subject you to subpar pancakes. Next time you visit, I'm cooking breakfast no matter what time of day it is :)
