    April 18, 2010 Today I made Rocky Road pancakes.  I used Aunt Jemima Complete (that means just add water) and mini marshmallows, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and walnuts.  They were sweet enough that my houseguest and boyfriend did not need butter or syrup, but you can add that if you want. It’s important to mix all your dry ingredients together first, and then mix in the water (or the eggs and milk, if ou are using a traditional recipe or mix).  That way, you can mix the wet ingredients as little as possible—the more you mix, the tougher your pancakes will be.  Recipe: 1 cup Complete Pancake Mix (you can use any brand, just follow the directions on the back) 3/4 cup water 1 splash of club soda (to make them light & fluffy) 1/4 cup chopped walnuts 1/3 cup mini marshmallows 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels Heat some oil in a skillet over medium/high heat.  Mix dry ingredients together in large bowl.  Add the water and mix just enough to moisten everything.  Then scoop a big spoonful of the mixture onto the skillet, and cook for a few minutes until you can lift up the bottom with a spatuala and the pancake is a golden brown color.  Flip the pancake, and repeat.  Makes three thick pancakes.  You can use more of the mix-ins, especially the marshmallows, if you want more flavor.  And if you have a sweet tooth, topping with a squiggle chocolate syrup might be a fun garnish.  Another idea is to mix some marshmallow fluff into your batter or use as a topping instead of the mini marshmallows.  The mini marshmallows tend to melt and can stick to your pan, so I recommend pushing them back into the pancake as it cooks.
