"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Directions:
In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients together. Add the boiling water and mix well. Let the batter stand for 2 minutes.

In a frying pan on medium heat, heat the oil and drop the batter into the oil by Tablespoons making pancake like cakes. DO NOT TOUCH them for 4 minutes. Touching the cakes will make them break up. You want them to form a deep golden crust on the outside.

Flip the cakes over and cook another 4-5 minutes on the other side. Serves them with butter on top.
