I bought a small rice cooker a while back. I have pancakes way more often now, which has really helped cut down my breakfast budget. I can snag a month of breakfast for like 5 dollars. Yeah sure, they're extra thicc and not as nutritious as a full complex meal, but its a lot less of a hassle than actually heating up the skillet and cooking a meal while I'm half-asleep.
yep. Just drop a bit of butter in and let it melt while you put some coffee on and mix together the milk and pancake mix, drop it in for 2 cycles, and enjoy. It's almost as easy as microwaving.
I.. how.. huh? I must try this. I use my rice cooker all the time, but for rice
Please report back to us, we're ALL curious. Lol
I am choosing to interpret the instructions as dumping a full bottle of pancake mix into the rice cooker, cook twice, then tip out the resulting pancake-cake and slice it up thinly like a pressed ham. I guess slice extra thinly for crepes?
That's how I read it too.
Yeah we really need some more details here.
Ok ok ok, I'll explain in further detail.
HipsterTenZero's shitty mega pancake
Serves 1
Place 1 tablespoon of salted butter in the rice cooker and flip the switch.
Mix together ~3/4 cup of store-bought pancake mix (I like the cheap kind!) and ~1/3 cup of milk.
Dump the batter in on top of the liquefied butter.
Wait for the first cycle to be done by taking the dog out (important step: pet dog)
hit the switch for a second cycle.
Make coffee or something. Put on some pants if you haven't already (optional).
Once the second cycle is done, poke the top of the 'cake with a fork to ensure it's fully cooked through.
If done, rotate the rice cooker 180 degrees vertically to dispense the delicious mega-pancake. Otherwise hit it with a cheeky 3rd cycle.
it looks like this!
Top with whatever garbage is around.
Someone mentioned slicing it up, but I just say scarf it down as-is. Who is gonna judge, eh?
That looks amazing
I did it! See above. Thanks for the idea!
It works!
Not bad! Though I used Bisquick, for better flavor, and for the work involved dirtying bowls and measuring cups I'd rather just use a pan.
In fact I made extra and made three pan sized pancakes in the time it took to make one big fluffy potcake.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great Idea and it totally works. If I were gonna do it again seriously, I'd get a dedicated pancake mix that uses just water, to maximize the simplicity, which is the goal I think.
It was fluffy and delicious, though I will say a lot of pancake flavor comes from the crispy edges and the thinness of the cake and you lose some of that with the thick potcake.
Glad I tried it, thanks to op for the idea!
Magnificent!! Thanks for sharing!
