  • The recipe is stupid, but seriously worth it. I spent the pandemic force feeding my roommates pancakes twice a week until it was perfect.

    You can use whatever Buttermilk you have, but combining the thick Bulgarian with the thinner normal tasted best to the 8 of us.

    You want as little time as possible between mixing and applying heat. 70% of baking soda’s lift is in the first 3 minutes. The double acting baking powder has an additional acid that’s heat activated, so there will be additional lift before the pancake sets.

    Wet ingredients

    · 240 g Bulgarian buttermilk (1 cup) · 240 g buttermilk (1 cup) · 13 g vanilla (1 Tbsp) · 85 g heated honey (¼ cup) {I microwave the glass jar 30 seconds at a time until it’s easy to pour} · 60 g apple cider vinegar (¼ cup) · 100 g eggs (2 large eggs)

    Dry ingredients

    · 240 g flour (2 cups) {protein % doesn’t seem to noticeably change anything} · 14 g double acting baking powder (1 Tbsp) · 7 g baking soda (½ Tbsp) · 2.5 g cinnamon (1 tsp) · 2 g allspice (1 tsp) · 2 g cardamom (1 tsp) · 1 g cloves (½ tsp) · 2 g nutmeg (1 tsp)

    Method

    1. Preheat your griddle to medium-high.
    2. Do not combine wet and dry ingredients until the griddle is hot.
    3. Mix dry into wet until you don’t see any dry ingredients.
    4. Immediately spoon or pour onto the hot griddle.
    5. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip.
    6. Cook until golden brown on the second side.






  • Here’s another way to look at it: Everything is being split equally. The spouse that was staying at home wasn’t bringing in money, but was providing value. Otherwise, they would have had a job. They weren’t building a resume or climbing a corporate ladder though.

    So say Lisa has worked for the last 25 years while the kids were being raised by John. Lisa is now in middle management making $100,000 a year compared to the $30,000 a year when they got married. The kids are through school, so Lisa doesn’t need John to take care of them anymore, and fires his non-income producing ass(divorce). John, after staying home for 25 years can now go get a job at $30,000. He’s out that 25 years of corporate experience that would have enabled him to be making $100,000. Alimony is to cover some of that shortfall.
