So since I’m unemployed now, I took the time to make a normal-ish breakfast today. (Okay really, the milk was expired so I had to abandon all hope for a bowl of cereal).

• Aunt Jemima Instant Pancake Mix
• Trader Joes Pumpkin Butter
• Raisins
• Kashi cereal

Make pancake mix according to directions (add water). Mix in raisins. Heat pan until water drops almost sizzle off immediately. If desired, coat pan with thin layer of butter. Pour pancakes in pan (whatever size or shape you want) and after about 2 minutes, or the bottom can have a spatula go under it cleanly, flip over. Make sure to pour the raisins into the pancakes, they tend to stay at the bottom of the mixing bowl. Once the pancakes are done, spread a thin thin layer of pumpkin butter on top (no syrup needed!) and decorate as desired.

I know, the face pancake looks really creepy, like a gorilla almost. I couldn’t find any curvy peices for the mouth and the straight mouth looks …creepy.
