I recently purchased the King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion cook book. This book is a hefty tome with 450+ recipes and lots of other cool stuff (for example, did you know that "gas mark 5" is 375 degrees F?).

I sat down to look through it for the first time this afternoon. I got as far as the first recipe, The Simple but Perfect Pancake. The name is right. At 2:30pm on Saturday afternoon I read the recipe. By 3:15 I had a batch made and was devouring them with the kind of gusto a starving man might apply to his first taste of Beef Wellington or a dieter might attack a Death By Chocolate cake.

In other words, it was beyond damn good. I suspect these will be a regular weekend breakfast item for me now.

The scary part is, this was just the first recipe. I know they won't all be this good (or this distracting) but still... oh dear. Do these make me look fat?
