Madycakes

These are the pancakes that Mady has made from scratch every morning since she came back from the hospital last Saturday. They look like neutrophils, and of course we credit them with her currently-soaring ANC levels...

Mix together:
1 cup cake flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Add:
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons melted butter
Milk as required if the batter seems too thick
1 banana, sliced

Mix everything together (but leave the batter slightly lumpy) and add enough banana slices so that each 4" diameter Madycake gets three slices (like a neutrophil with its distinctive tri-lobed nucleus). Cook on a lightly-buttered griddle, turn when bubbles appear on the top surface, but before they break. Cook until golden brown and serve with real maple syrup (or honey). Mmmm...



By the way, Mady has been cleared to go to school on Friday and she's very excited.

And then try: Peanut Butter/Banana Madycakes! (just put peanut butter on the bananas). It tastes REALY good.
