pita and pancakes

i must be feeling a little flat lately, pun totally intended, because the other day i decided to make both pancakes and pita bread. i really don't have any clue why. i mean the pancakes were an attempt by me to start using up some of the frozen blueberries i still have from summer, but the pita i guess is just too easy of a way to get your hands quickly on some homemade bread.

after making the pancakes from my school textbook i am now determined to explore the world of these flat spongy delights and develop my ideal recipe. the textbook recipe created fairly thin, light pancakes, which would have been fine had the blueberries not been freakishly big. the few cakes i made with the berries looked as if a game of hide and seek was being played and the berries choose the most indiscreet spot under the rug. i thought maybe i had done something wrong, so i made them again the next day with the same result. i liked how light these pancakes were, but desired more volume. i've gotten thicker pancakes from recipes in the past, but it usually came at a dense cost, so my goal is to create a tall, fluffy, light cake. stay tuned.



the pita is really quite a simple thing to make and if you have a pizza stone it makes things all the easier. i will have to document the procedure next time they're made, so that i can give a step by step tutorial on the subject. with that said i need to start posting recipes, so readers can attempt some of this stuff at home. hopefully i can start inspiring some kitchen workouts instead of always talking about my own.

now back to me. look, look, look! isn't flat beautiful?
