Instructions

Messy AF Batter

  1. Attempt to get your all purpose flour from the top of your cupboard and drop it so it explodes everywhere.

  2. Spend 10 minutes cleaning up a real goddamn mess that still lingers days later and is a nightmare for the obsessive compulsive type.

  3. Put your dehydrated apples into a food processor or a grinder of sorts (idgaf), pulverize them into a powder and put them in a mixing bowl.

  4. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl full of apple powder and whisk together, ditto for the wet ingredients.

  5. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients, mix well. If the batter is a bit thick, add some more almond milk, dummy. Mix until still a bit lumpy.

  6. Let that lumpy batter rest for about 20 minutes.

Annoying AF Fruit Ale Syrup

  1. Pour the bottle of fruit ale into a sauce pan and set on high heat and let reduce.

  2. While that shit makes its way to a boil, mix almond milk and powdered sugar in a bowl to create something resembling the consistency of icing.

  3. Once reduced, about 15 minutes, add the fruit ale to the icing stuff and IMMEDIATELY FUCKING REALIZE that your ratio is now fucked and unrecoverable and that you ruined it.

  4. Dump contents of sauce pan and icing bowl down the goddamn drain, along with your patience, and get another bottle of fruit ale.

  5. Repeat steps one and two while cursing to holy hell.

  6. Add the almond milk and powdered sugar icing TO THE SAUCEPAN(!!!) with the fruit ale to help it thicken and continue to let it reduce. Don't even look at it until it's reduced because you'll ruin it.

  7. Let it reduce until a little syrupy. Remove from heat and put in another container to cool.

Pancake Execution

  1. Get a cast iron skillet, electric skillet, burning hot ashpalt, etc., up to medium heat. Add some olive oil and drop like...a full cup of batter. Pancakes for one means they get to be as big as your head.

  2. Flip pancakes once the bubbles form and start to burst, about 3-4 minutes and flip. There should be enough batter for about two giant, shameless pancakes.

  3. Once golden brown on both sides, move to a plate and get your Greek yogurt and fruit ale syrup ready.

  4. Yogurt application is completely up to you, let your Greek flag fly. I spread it between the pancakes and also made a stupid quenelle type deal as a topper and hate myself for it.

  5. Pour the fruit ale syrup over the top and contemplate throwing it all in the garbage.

  6. Eat while sitting on your couch because you don't have an actual space dedicated for eating, like a table, in your apartment.
