Has anyone actually tried this? It sounds really delicious or really terrible. Either way, I want to find out for myself.

Quinoa Pancakes

Makes 12 (4-inch pancakes)

1 cup flour*
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1-1/4 cups buttermilk (or sour milk**)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cooked quinoa
3 tablespoons melted butter, divided
Maple syrup

Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl.

Whisk the egg, buttermilk and vanilla extract together in a small bowl until well blended.

Pour the buttermilk mixture over the flour mixture and stir until just combined.

Fold in the quinoa and then fold in 2 tablespoons of melted butter.

Heat a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Brush skillet with reserved melted butter.

Ladle scant 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto hot griddle. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to dry about 3 minutes. Flip and cook another couple minutes, until pancakes are cooked through. Keep warm in a low oven.

Serve with warm maple syrup.

This looks SO good. Saving this recipe to try. Be sure to go to the original post to check out more pictures and background. The blog itself is gold.

Who doesn’t want to be taken out of the boredom or sameness or pain of the present at any given moment? That’s what drugs are for, and that’s why people become addicted to them. Carr himself was once a crack addict (he wrote about it in “The Night of the Gun”). Twitter is crack for media addicts. It scares me, not because I’m morally superior to it, but because I don’t think I could handle it. I’m afraid I’d end up letting my son go hungry.
