Pancakes, the easy way

When Jared was in preschool, he made approximately forty-three million pancakes. I swear, pretty much every day there was another plate of pancakes to bring home. There's a lot to be learned from making pancakes: what happens when you mix powders and liquids, how the application of heat can change things, how to be safe around a stove, and even physical dexterity when flipping the flapjacks.

Fast forward to the other day and I was chatting with the mother of one of Jared's kindergarten classmates who told me she was going to make pumpkin bread with the kids. I said that Jared would love that and told her about his pancakes. That's when she mentioned a new product she had seen -- pancake batter in a spray can.

I guess if you don't mind missing out on all the learning and just want to get to the cooking part, Batter Blaster is the way to go. It's ready-made pancake batter in a spray can -- think Easy Cheese. Now, lest you worry that this is full of chemicals and preservatives, please note that Batter Blaster is an organic product.

As the product website says, "Just point, blast, and cook! Batter Blaster Makes Breakfast a Blast!". Um, personally, it seems like way too much work to me. I think I'll stick to nuking my pancakes in the morning.
