Beer for Breakfast!

It has been far too long since I have blogged. This recipe is not only totally blog worthy but I can’t help myself from sharing its awesomeness with the world. You’re welcome. :)

Amazing Guinness Pancakes

3 cups flour (I used 1 cup whole wheat and 2 cups all-purpose but you could use any combination you feel like)
2 t baking powder
1 t salt
1/8 - 1/4 t nutmeg (A popular northern European spice. I suppose you could try cinnamon if you like.)
1 cup sugar
2 T molasses (I didn't have dark brown sugar on hand. If you have it just use a cup of that and don’t add the molasses)
1/4 cup canola oil (You could use melted butter but that takes effort)
1 t vanilla extract
2 eggs
~1 pint Guinness beer* (I don't know the exact amount. I just added it until the batter was a little thicker than cake batter since I prefer a thicker pancake.)

Directions: 1/4-1/3 cup batter on a hot pan and let it do its pancake-thing with only a flip of assistance from you. I’d finish my instructions with a classic “enjoy” but I know you are already doing that… ;)

*Any leftover Guinness can be either a) chef's perk--drink up me hearty!--or b) poured over a hunk of pork in a crock-pot (along with a dash or two of Worcestershire sauce, a clove of garlic, and a squirt of Dijon mustard) for some spectacular pulled pork. 

Here is a link to a blog where I got the main parts of this recipe. He suggests serving them with Baileys Butter and Whiskey Syrup (you can find the recipes in the blog) for Irish Car Bomb Pancakes.
