Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pancakes

So the other day, Erin and I decided to experiment...

With Bisquik.

We asked ourselves "What can we add to pancakes to make them even more awesome than they already are??" The answer my dear friends: brown sugar and cinnamon. Lots. Like, lots.

Ingredients:

- 2 Cups Bisquik

- 1 Cup Milk

- 2 Large Eggs

- Brown Sugar

- Cinnamon

- Butter (to grease frying pan)

(Midway through we decided our arteries aren't clogging fast enough. So we added some regular sugar)

- White Sugar 

Directions:
1. Okay, so if you can't read the back of the Bisquik box to make pancake mix you've got problems. It's okay, we don't judge. 

2. Mix the 2 c. of Bisquik, 1 c. of milk, and 2 eggs in a bowl or pot or whatever you poor, poor college kids have.

3. Add a generous amount of brown sugar. Put it in your measuring cup first and pop it in the microwave for about 20 seconds to break it up a little and make it easier to mix in to your batter. We started with about 2 spoonfuls, but ended up adding a LOT more. We're talking half a cup of brown sugar.

4. Add some cinnamon too. Right on top of your mix. Sprinkle it on, generously. It should look like a large continent in a marginally larger ocean of batter. Think Australia.

5. Mix it all up. At this point, sprinkle in a little white sugar. We used about a tablespoon.

6. Now, I know things are looking good. But do NOT EAT THE BATTER. The wait is worth it, I PROMISE!

7. At this point, we poured the batter back into a measuring cup. This makes it much easier to pour into a frying pan.

8. Now, heat up your frying pan with a little bit heart attack amount of butter. Here's a pro tip: keep the flame low. Especially if you live in a dorm with shoddy smoke detectors. Otherwise, you'll end up getting a good forearm workout...

9. Did you set off the fire alarm? Crack open a Guinness. You freakin' deserve it.

10. Once the butter is good an' melted on your pan, get that batter and POUR BABY POUR!!!! Allow the pancakes to fluff up and start to bubble before you try to flip them. Use your own discretion until you get the timing down. Don't be afraid to burn a pancake or two. They're still delicious.

Also, actually round pancakes are SO last year. Make fun shapes!
