Q. What do you do with leftover pancake batter?
A. We are uniquely qualified to answer this, given the number of Shrove Tuesday pancake suppers we have served up, and the fact that we always make too much batter, at least in Florence (where our answer comes from today).
Our batter is the usual stuff - flour, bit of sugar, milk, eggs, canola oil. We have discovered that if you pour this into greased, papered or silicone muffin pans - regular or mini - and add some frozen blueberries, bake at 425 F for 10 min for mini and 20 min for regular, you will have a nice treat on your hands. You can freeze them for when Lent is over if you're hardcore at church seasons, or you can take them to church the next Sunday for the coffee hour and soak up all the praise for your ingeniousness, or feed them to your distracted husband and wary grandchildren. Your choice.
