the best damn no-buttermilk-involved pancakes I've had this millennium.

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?

This was with King Arthur's unbleached AP flour. Good stuff, it's the only flour I buy (well, aside from King Arthur bread flour ... :)
