I recently learned about a fun blog titled \u201cInvestigating Food Used in Novels,\u201d by Sally Jo Pitts. Last week, she featured my book, Lethal Legacy,<\/i> where the heroine Andi Wheaton makes hero Bryce Caldwell a giant pancake. She tells him, \u201cIt\u2019s super easy. You mix up the ingredients, then bake it in a cast-iron skillet. Slather melted butter over it when it\u2019s finished, sprinkle with sugar and voil\u00e0, breakfast.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sally Jo recreated the giant pancake using a Kodiac Cakes dark chocolate flapjack and waffle mix. In her words, \u201c\u2026the results were yummy.\u201d You can check out her post here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Giant pancakes for breakfast used to be a regular occurrence at our house, but in recent years we\u2019ve gotten away from making them. Seeing the picture of Sally Jo\u2019s gave me a serious craving for a giant pancake again. Except now, I eat grain free, almost keto. So I had to make some substitutes. Here is the original recipe:<\/p>\n

2 eggs<\/p>\n

\u00bd cup of flour<\/p>\n

\u00bd cup of milk<\/p>\n

\u00bc tsp nutmeg<\/p>\n

4 Tbsp butter cut in small pieces<\/p>\n

2 Tbsp confectioner\u2019s sugar<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Melt butter in cast iron skillet. Beat eggs, then beat in flour, milk and nutmeg. Pour mixture into skillet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. When top is slightly browned, sprinkle with confectioner\u2019s sugar. (serves 2 or 3)<\/p>\n

When I made mine, I substituted \u00bc cup of almond flour and \u00bc cup of coconut flour for the regular flour. At home, I would have used almond milk instead of regular milk, but since I\u2019m at my sister\u2019s house in North Carolina I used her regular milk. Instead of the sugar, I drizzled raw honey over the top. Here\u2019s how it turned out:<\/p>\n

\"fast<\/p>\n

The texture was grainier than the way I used to make them, because of the different flour, but the taste was similar. It gave me a tasty and reasonably healthy alternative to my usual green smoothie. Looks like giant pancakes will be making a comeback at my house.<\/p>\n

\"\"Someone wants her family secrets buried<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s her only chance to survive<\/p>\n

Andrea Wheaton thought her parents\u2019 tragic deaths were accidental\u2014until she\u2019s attacked during a burglary at their home. Now she\u2019s also being targeted. Her ex-sweetheart Sheriff Deputy Bryce Caldwell insists on protecting her, though she refuses to trust him again. But with a killer closing in, can she and Bryce uncover her family\u2019s secrets before it\u2019s too late for them both?<\/p>\n
