Pancakes!!!

As some of you know, that was the name of my darling, beloved Bunny Rabbit I used to have...Oh how I loveeeeed Pancakes! While we're on the subject of past animals I've adored...we can't forget about Snickers! Snickers was SUCH a good dog, and I miss her so much!

Here's the 2 of them together, the best way to remember them:

Anyways, this post isn't actually about my bunny Pancakes, don't be too disappointed. :P

This post is about Pancakes. Light, fluffy, delicious, American pancakes! Believe it or not, Turkish people go crazy for pancakes! I've made Pancakes on request several times, have written down the magical recipe for my host mom's twin sister, and every weekend Pancakes are on the menu for breakfast...and sometimes dessert after lunch like yesterday!

Lucky you, because in this post I will share my oh so magical recipe that has people going crazy!

1. Combine a little less than 2 cups flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 cup sugar, and 1 tbsp baking powder in large mixing bowl and mix together

2. melt 1/2 cup butter

3. add melted butter to 1/2 cups milk and 2 eggs and beat all together

4. add milk mixture to dry ingredients

5. Blend all together

6. time to cook! Let sit until they start to bubble, then flip. Take off when both sides are a light golden brown!

7. Enjoy yummy, fully, american pancakes!

PS- fresh strawberries are an excellent topping...as is Vermont Maple Syrup!

Now, get to your kitchen and get to work!

On a completely different subject, my wonderful Mommy is coming to visit me in Beautiful Istanbul, and will arrive on Thursday! This is the first time I will see family in 3 months...I am SO excited, I've misse dher so so so much! She is being so kind, bringing me things from home that are hard (or too expensive) to get here. She is also bringing some silly things such as root beer (my turkish friends have never tried it before!) and vermont maple syrup (for our pancakes!) And as my friends already know my love for Victoria's Secret...she is bringing me some stuff I ordered from VS! <3

We are going to skip over to Greece for a couple days in Athens seeing the Acropolis and other things as well! I can't wait!!
