tossed in olive oil, and smoked paprika,
and GPOP (Garlic Powder and Onion Powder)
plus pink salt and black pepper and especially turmeric,
because my old man bones are sore all the old man time, neighbors.
hmm?
yeah, i do that thing where you toss them out of a bowl and catch 'em in the same bowl
a whole bunch like on a tv commercial for shrimp or some sh!t.
hahaha.
i doo-doo that tossin'-type stuff.
then i arranged 'em on a parchment lined pan and baked those baddies
in an oven that rose up to 450 luscious fahrenheit degrees.
i fired up five smaller spuds, and let 'em get golden, and crisp,
and then i tossed 'em in a pan with some sweet onion and oil,
and got 'em all activated with exxxtra excellence.
f'really real.
that's how you do it.
wait.
what's this all about, anyway?
it's all about fathers day pancake breakfast for harvest and maple and i.
mmmhmmmmm.
check it:
WORD.
the potatoes are very necessary,
and those blackened tomatoes turn it up to eleven,
but it's the 'cakes that take the, um, y'know....
with real maple syrup, obvi,
because rules is rules,
and coconut whipped creme because we love to take it to the next level,
AND powdery sugar sprankles because the sweet tooth is hereditary,
and we LOOOOOOVE that sugar, neighbors.
mmmhmmmm.
but it's the actual pannieboi action that had us shook, son.
f'real.

PAPA-DAY PANNIES!
-
in a medium mixin' bowl, combine:
1/4 cup coconut meal;
1/2 tsp salt;
1/2 cup oat flour;
2 T brown sugar;
1 T sugar;
2 T oil;
1 1/2 cups king arthur flour;
2 tsp bakey kapowder;
1 tsp baking soda;
1/2 cup vanilla non-dairy yogurt;
2/3 cup non-dairy milk, + more if needed....
stir it up, make it thick, get it ready,
and watch it thicken.
this is the batter that matters, man.
and if it rests while you heat up a hot griddle,
that's even better, for sure.
the thing about expert vegan pancakes is:
too much is the right amount.
100% fact.
i fried 'em up in a fat spoonful of vegan butter,
and it kept the outer shell of each cake hella crisp,
with that caramel note of cooked brown sugar keeping it real af.
have you ever flipped a pancake and just known in your heart that it was gonna
be a life-changing experience?
these might be the ones that do it for you.
for realsies.
i love cooking for the children.
it's good for me, and it's good for them, and it only adds to a sense of belonging,
and open-mindedness,
and family togetherness at it's best.
that's no joke.
and while i'm the only vegan in the group,
most of the time everybody is pretty tolerant of my compassionate, considerate,
clearly-superior method of earth-friendly life-sustaining nutrition,
since everything else is basically planet-and-love-destroying selfishness.
so, whenever a pancake can come through and save the day,
you'd best believe i'm there with an open heart and a spatula to make it happen.
i'm actually pretty glad to share these experiences with ALL these young ones
who matter so much to me.
and they ALL love my pancakes.
all five of the six who've had 'em.
lilli only gets that human mamasyrup so far,
but i'm sure she'll be psyched when the time comes to have a pancake with us.
i don't know it that's too many pancake eatin' young ones,
or not enough of 'em all told,
but i DO know that with just the three of us here at the Folk Life & Liberty Fortress
we had leftover 'cakes,
and that's practically a sin;
never quiet, never soft.....
