Unfortunately, neither of them live close enough for me to drive them to them to celebrate. Well, I guess I could drive them there, but they wouldn&#8217;t be very good after a day in the car. \u00a0Hmm, never mind. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HCNlooQC7EI\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div><!--more--><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>I only recently finally learned how to make pancakes properly. \u00a0Like last week recent. \u00a0I&#8217;ve been practicing for years (not kidding), and finally I figured it out. \u00a0Patience. \u00a0<em>Say wha?<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0Yes, they take patience! \u00a0You\u00a0<em>must<\/em>\u00a0wait until the top starts to bubble before you flip! \u00a0I&#8217;ve been pre-flipping for years and disaster has occurred every time. \u00a0If you don&#8217;t wait, the bottom isn&#8217;t hard enough to keep the pancake&#8217;s shape to withstand the flip, and the pancake ends up a folded, floppy mess. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The other wise tip of advice I have for you in regards to pancake perfection is to invest in a griddle. \u00a0If you have a super large frying pan, that&#8217;s easier, but if you&#8217;re trying to flip pancakes in a tiny frying pan, you&#8217;re bound for failure. \u00a0Sorry to break your heart on that one. \u00a0The griddle produces an even temperature, flat surface (no annoying pan edges to catch the pancake mid-flip) and lots of space to flip practice. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>If you don&#8217;t care about the perfect flip or the perfect pancake, embrace that and ignore everything I&#8217;ve said. \u00a0There are better things in life to worry about than making pancakes. \u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>I&#8217;ll let you know when I find something else meaningless to obsess about. \u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSC_4485site.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-6591\" title=\"Birthday Cake Pancakes\" src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSC_4485site.jpg\" alt=\"Birthday Cake Pancakes\" width=\"602\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSC_4485site.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSC_4485site-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Birthday Cake Pancakes\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div><strong>Pancakes<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Ingredients:<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>3 3\/4 cups flour<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons baking powder<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon salt\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>3 tablespoons sugar<\/li>\n<li>3 eggs<\/li>\n<li>5 tablespoons vegetable oil<\/li>\n<li>4 1\/4 cups milk\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>deep pink, sky blue, purple<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSC_4499site.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-6593\" title=\"Birthday Cake Pancakes\" src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSC_4499site.jpg\" alt=\"Birthday Cake Pancakes\" width=\"601\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSC_4499site.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSC_4499site-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>Procedure:<\/div>\n<div>\n<ol>\n<li>Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl and whisk until combined.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Combine wet ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk until combined.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until no lumps remain.
