Community Crepes (Mt. Dew Bacon)

Yes, these are about the unhealthiest pancakes you can make. Yes, I'm cranky, because Dave (unfortunately and unfairly) lost his job. Yes, that means he had to take one with a construction crew, meaning while he's standing outside freezing his tookus off, I'll be home alone....on Thanksgiving. Also, Community isn't coming back after Christmas. It's been 'shelved temporarily' whatever that means, so our nice one little thing has been spat on too. So, I'm less than a happy camper lately, so I saw no reason to have healthy Community Crepes this week.

This week on Community, the Dean decides to update the Greendale Community College commercial that has been in place since the 80's. When former student Luis Guzman decides to come help out, the Dean freaks out in an effort to make 'the perfect commercial' and just about loses his mind. Let's watch, shall we?

 

Recipe!

1 cup flour

2 tsp. salt

2 tsp. baking powder

3 tsp. oil

1 cup (ish) Mountain Dew

3 strips crumbled bacon

Ok, cook your bacon first. Then combine your dry ingredients. Add the oil, stirring to coat, and then the Mountain Dew til your batter forms. Stir in your bacon. Pour the batter into the same griddle or pan that you cooked your bacon in, so that the bacon grease acts as your lubricant, adding lots and lots of bacon flavor. If you don't have Mt. Dew, that's fine, just use milk. The soda adds some of those yummy bubbles as well as some nice height to the pancakes.

Sorry I'm cranky everybody. The good news is I have to move down south in 6 weeks, while we're still waiting on our lawyer to get back to us about David's paper work. Oh wait. I really shouldn't blog when I'm grumpy.
