#pancake post

[micamicster]

There’s a note written into my family’s recipe book SPECIFICALLY STATING do not! be tempted to double the pancake recipe! And every year we’re like hmm seems fake. Better double it

Some people are ok with just one pancake, others need more to fill them. Normalize having multiple pancakes at once. This blog supports poly pancakes 💗💚💙

revisiting the pancake post at 20k :/ heres the breakdown :/

Best reactions!

people tagging it #marginalia I find that heartwarming and charming <3

people telling me about a time they similarly doubled a recipe that should not be doubled and the terrible consequences of their hubris <3

people posting their own family recipe annotations <3

mutuals telling me they’re sorry for my suffering (but still reblogging the post -_- not sorry ENOUGH)

Most common reactions!

people asking for the recipe that is already in the notes twice

people saying omg 43 pancakes is clearly wayyy too much/wayyy too few (it’s about an even split)

people telling me to just freeze the pancakes (im glad that works for you all but i swear to god it will not work for this recipe because of the whipped egg white component)

Worst reactions!

the harry potter roleplay blog who added a reaction gif of severus snape to it

person who said they were “stunned” and needed to “readjust their world view” because they’d never heard of anyone who was so bad at cooking that they needed a recipe for pancakes

“this is because americans refuse to use the metric system”

Most perplexing reactions!

people who think the first annotation is from 1917 aka over a hundred years ago instead of the much more likely 2017

people asking me frantically what happens op if you double the recipe! (it makes too many pancakes? how is that not clear?)

people asking me why i only make pancakes once every 5 years

people tagging the post #hubris. Okay

And congratulations to the one person to get blocked on this post! for reblogging to launch into a paragraphs-long rant about how the commenter before them had misspelled voila which made them look “naive” and “twee” and offended “people who (unlike you) actually know french.” French people shut up challenge

Ok if people are going to keep reblogging that recipe post i am requesting more funny anecdotes about making too much food and less telling me to freeze pancakes that have already been eaten and which also don’t freeze well due to the whipped egg whites -_-

[micamicster]

I am begging you guys to check the notes before you comment the answers you seek (pancake recipe) are within your reach

Pancake reblogs seem to be slowing down at last hand to god I will never post again
