Batter Blaster<\/p><\/div>\n

Normally I would never try a product like the\u00a0Batter Blaster<\/a>\u2122 but my mother bought a can for me and deposited it in my refrigerator.\u00a0 I made brunch for Easter Sunday and decided to add some pancakes to my little buffet.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Batter Blaster is described on their website as:<\/p>\n

With its unique, pressurized, patent pending process, Batter Blaster\u2122 makes organic light and fluffy pancakes and light and crisp waffles in minutes! And while breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it\u2019s also the most skipped meal. Batter Blaster is fast, easy and fun for the whole family. Batter Blaster makes breakfast a blast!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you have ever used whipped cream in a can then you will be right at home with Batter Blaster.\u00a0 If you haven\u2019t used whipped cream in a can, crawl out from under that rock.\u00a0 After you free yourself from the rock you can operate the can by holding it inverted above a hot griddle and pressing against the nozzle to release the batter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For my tests I heated my All-Clad Griddle<\/a> to 400 degrees.\u00a0 Once the griddle was hot on\u00a0both sides I squeezed out enough batter to create a circle about 3 inches across and made\u00a0six pancakes.\u00a0 I let the batter heat up and form bubbles throughout.\u00a0 The first thing I noticed is how the batter is darker and less natural looking than what I mix.\u00a0 Batter Blaster claims it is organic and the ingredients are quite natural, but it had an unnatural look to it.\u00a0 Undeterred, I let the batter cook and flipped the pancakes once there were plenty of bubbles present.\u00a0 The pancakes cooked very quickly, much faster than my mix does.\u00a0 After just a few total minutes the pancakes were ready to be removed from the griddle.<\/p>\n

Maple Grove Farms Pure Maple Syrup<\/p><\/div>\n

I removed the pancakes from the griddle, and topped them with spray butter and Maple Grove Farms Pure Maple Syrup<\/a>.\u00a0 I linked to the syrup company because their maple syrup was the highest one rated by\u00a0Cook\u2019s Illustrated Magazine<\/a>\u00a0and tastes great.\u00a0 I bought it after reading the comparison they did and have been purchasing it ever since.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t have it in your cupboard I suggest you pick it up the next time you are at the grocery store.<\/p>\n

So how did they taste?\u00a0 The syrup was great as usual but the pancakes were less than stellar in the flavor department.\u00a0 They were rubbery in texture and reminded me of the ones you get at McDonald\u2019s.\u00a0 I suspect they use a batter dispenser of sorts\u00a0at McDonald\u2019s\u00a0although I\u2019m sure they don\u2019t pay for a brand name mixture like Batter Blaster.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Batter Blaster Nutrition<\/p><\/div>\n

The pancakes didn\u2019t have much flavor and had the consistency of something you would expect out of a can.\u00a0 Comparing them to my own pancakes is like comparing cheese in a can to aged\u00a0Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t know how to make your own pancake mix, I suggest learning.\u00a0 While it\u2019s super easy to use a can of mix like with Batter Blaster, they just don\u2019t taste right or have the right texture to them.\u00a0 I appreciate the effort that went into the invention and respect the people who made it.\u00a0 It\u2019s just not something I plan on ever using again personally.<\/p>\n

The pancakes made with Batter Blaster are low in calories and sit well on the nutrition front.\u00a0 I am very impressed that they didn\u2019t inject tons of fat or calories into the mix and they deserve kudos for that.\u00a0 Most food of convenience is laden with fat and this group bucks that trend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
