Ingredients: 8 oz plain flour, salt, level teaspoon of cream of tartar, level teaspoon of baking soda, 5 teaspoons sugar, 1 large egg and a quarter pint of milk.
Heat a griddle or frying pan and lightly grease. Sift flour, salt, cream of tartar and baking soda together. Mix in sugar. Create a well in the centre and add the egg and some of the milk. Slowly mix the flour into the egg and milk, adding more milk as you go, until you have a mixture which has the consistency of thick batter.
Drop a small amount of batter onto the greased girdle or pan - bubbles should rise to the top in a few seconds, if it is the right temperature. Drop in enough mixture to make individual small pancakes. When the underside is brown (and bubbles bursting on the top) turn over and cook the other side. Regrease the pan after each batch.
Serve warm with butter and honey or jam/jelly. Or try buttering them and sprinkling with light brown sugar!

exgunnertdo said:Ok, if things like using a lawn mower or drill, troubleshooting a laptop, etc are on the women's list (and I agree they should be!)- here's a couple for the men's list:
1. Do laundry (including folding, matching socks, and putting away!)
2. Cook a proper meal for the family (including cleaning up) - note that ordering pizza, BBQ-ing, or making pancakes don't count!
3. Put ponytails in a 4-year-old's hair.
4. Help same 4-year-old put on leotards/tights.
I can't think of any others right now, but there's probably more...

But seriously, how come the guys can get away with saying stuff like:
We girls say stuff like that about the "manly" chores and we come off as ditsy and weak...I sure can't get away with it.
