An Evangelical Take on Pancakes

Friends,

I have to share some important information with you. Mostly it’s to show my friend Joe that I do have a sense of humor (sometimes). First, here’s a recipe:

Serve these pancakes with butter and syrup.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour, stirred or sifted before measuring
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

PREPARATION:

Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine egg and milk; add to flour mixture, stirring only until smooth. Blend in melted butter. Cook on a hot, greased griddle, using about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until brown on one side and around edge; turn and brown the other side. Recipe for pancakes serves 4. (Pancake Recipe)

Second, I think this might shed some light on the issue:

My friend Joe, with whom I have had many fine conversations, got me to thinking about pancakes today. Thus, I thought I would share a little bit of pancake information with you.

By the way, Pancakes will not save you, they give you no purpose in life (unless you make videos for youtube or are a pancake chef), they have not overcome death, pancakes do not teach us to put any more value on life, and they have no power to alter the DNA and construct a new organism. They are what they are: Pancakes. I hope you enjoy the next batch you have! Jesus said, “I am the Bread of Life.”

(But, just in case, it might be best if we simply avoided pancakes altogether. There could be some insidious evil lurking in that batch of Hungry Jack slathered in Mrs. Buttersworth. Or not.)
