How I spend rainy Mondays

So due to both bad weather and yet another day without hearing from my job about work I found myself in my kitchen experimenting with food. I decided to fix pancakes. Keep in mind I was not intent on "making" pancakes so much as "fixing" the whole idea of pancakes. I tried small pans, large pans, different consistencies of batter, different temperatures, different cook times, and finally experimenting with using different foods as filling in some of the abnormally large pancakes. After much conclusive research I have finally perfected the ultimate food, and because it is so different from the so-called "pancakes" you mere mortals are used to, I have decided to call my creation "(insert insanely awesome food name here)".

1.)You get a 3 inch diameter, 1 inch deep pan and fill it to the brim with pancake batter.

It will rise to about an inch above the edge of the pan so be very careful. Eventually you will have a reasonably hard shell on the bottom and on the sides of the "pancake" with the center still being liquid. You will want to have the stove on very low heat so it may take some time to reach this bowl-like state. The overall shape will looked almost like a ball so don't be discouraged if what you are making looks nothing like a pancake.

2.) Insert 3-5 Double Stuff Oreos into the liquid center and push them down into the cake until there are no visible corners left.

Once cooked these Oreos will be very soft and warm because they absorb some of the still-liquid pancake batter.

3.) Flip the spherical monstrosity so the other side can cook.

You might be thinking to yourself, "This guy is insane! You cannot flip this thing because it is still half liquid". Your complains, while well reasoned, are invalid. There is no easy way to do the flipping, but after flipping two in a row without a mess I can proudly say that it is possible.

4.) Continue to cook at extremely low heat for as long as possible without burning. Remove when done.

The lower the heat the better. Because the cake should be almost a sphere it is very hard to cook thoroughly. Surprisingly adding Oreos helps the heat spread to the middle. There is no foolproof way to tell when the middle it done. the great wisdom I have as a cook helps me determine when it is ready, but obviously not everyone can be as gifted as I am at cooking. (That last bit was intended as sarcasm)

5.) Eat your new favorite meal and then never admit to anyone that you actually enjoyed this revolting sounding dish.

Note: After eating this you will most likely get extremely bored, watch a few lonely hours of Doogie Howser MD., and then feel the sudden need to post about this dish on your blog... or at least that's what happened when I ate it...

... dang I hate being home alone on days too rainy to go outside...
