Level: Incredibly Hard Total: 2 min

Active: 10 min
Yield: 0-2 servings

Ingredients:

1 pinch cricket flour


1 mouthful kosher salt


1 cup high viscosity corn syrup


1 XXL ostrich egg


Some buttermilk (whatever looks right)

Directions:

  1. Use a heavy-duty gas chainsaw to carefully slice open the ostrich eggs, dropping them into the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Beat the eggs until they form pillowy, soft peaks, then continue beating until they deflate completely. If they look brutally overwhipped, you're wrong and you've actually done a great job!
  2. Ditch the stand mixer and any sense of decency you may have. Dump the remaining ingredients into the mixing bowl and get in there with your hands until the pancake batter resembles the ocean in smell, texture, and taste.
  3. Turn the gas on your range up all the way and heat up a nonstick skillet lined with double-sided sticky tape. Spoon an appropriate amount of batter into the pan for each pancake and go do something whatever you want as you wait for it to cook. When burning fumes have taken over your entire house, the pancake is ready to flip.
  4. Attempt to remove your pancakes from the pan and plate them up in a nice stack. Don't worry if they stick to the pan so much that you can't remove them! If this happens to you, simply make something different for breakfast today and try again tomorrow!
