1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar

With a fork or a pastry cutter, cut in
1/3 cup oil

Mix in
2 cups milk

directions

1. First, put 1 ½ cup flour in a large bowl. Then, add 3 tablespoons sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and a dash of salt. Mix together.

2. Crack two eggs into a small bowl. Make sure there is no eggshell in the bowl. Whisk in eggs and 1 cup milk in bowl. Make your dough soupy, like milk soup.

3. Heat a skillet to medium heat. Drops of water will dance on the skillet.

4. Using a ladle, drip in a small circle of dough. drop 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter onto heated griddle. Repeat, spacing at least 1 inch apart. Cook 1 minute, or until bubbles in batter pop and remain open. Carefully flip pancakes and cook an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute.

5.

Transfer to baking sheet in warm oven; repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with butter and syrup or confectioners' sugar, if desired.

Makes 16 small (4-inch) pancakes.

ちゃはん (Fried Rice)

On medium-high heat, fry in sesame or vegetable oil:
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, diced
1 cooked potato, cubed
1 cup frozen peas
add a bit of soy sauce or ponzu, and cover to speed up cooking.
When almost done, add ginger and 1/2 cup shredded cabbage, and then day-old rice. Stir.
When done, slowly pour some beaten egg over, trying to spread it as thinly as possible over the entire dish, stir until cooked, and then eat! Great garnished with chopped green onions and kimchee.

Dana's Satsuma Renkon Thang

Satsuma imo sliced in thin, long, rectangular strips (smaller than French Fries, like angel hair pasta, and doesn't need to be peeled), and then fry in sake and soy sauce. Shortly after, put in renkon cut into thin rounds and throw in. Finished when Satsuma imo is orangey yellow.

Will cook most of the sake and soy sauce off, but not all of it because it will buuurn.
