I just woke up, switched on the TV and there she is, Fifi Box is already helping out at the UnitingCare tent, selling pancakes and eating them. It is Pancake Day!

Here I have lay out and took a quick snap of all the ingredients that I will be using to make my pancakes today – flour, butter, lemon, eggs, maple syrup, peanut butter and bacon! Oh yeahhh… pancakes with peanut butter and bacon… I think I need to remind myself how good this is going to taste like the sister version I’ve had recently at Parkes.

I’ve had my morning walk, consider that as my pre-indulgence exercise, but all I could think of during the exercise is how to construct my pancakes. I actually even had a Oak chocolate milkshake on my way home, consider that as a protein shake to build muscle too!

I quickly drafted out a deconstructed version of the pancakes that I am going to make. And I think I have finally got it right. And I am going to call it the “Fool’s Gold Stack“, a sister version of the Fool’s Gold Loaf. So next time when people ask you whether you have tried the Fool’s Gold Stack, yes tell them that Billy who invented it!

Thanks to those who is visiting the blog right now and also the link ups from ChocolateSuze and Onebitemore. Go and check out their versions of blueberries pancakes, always perfect banana caramel syrup pancakes, and oh, a gingy pancake!

Entertainment and stuff myself silly aside, this crazy act is all for a good cause. Here’s a ho down how a small amount of money can help those unfortunate ones. I am not a saint, I am far from it as a matter of a fact, I think we all do take things for granted now and again, and it makes me feel good to give something back.

Like I said, your money won’t do me no good, all I need is you to spread the words and send more traffics to this blog, and that’s how I can raise the funds for the charity. But of course, you are always welcome to donate at the UnitingCare website itself.

Now, I only realised I am still missing a few ingredients to make the fluffy pancakes! Off to supermarket now, and the glorious pancakes should be up by lunch time!

Apology for slow updates, i just regain my consciousness, I think I had slipped into coma, went into space with David Bowie for a second there.

I’ve made 13 pancakes, and it took me 30mins to cook them. The size, as you can see, no monkey business, all at the size around 15cm in diametere. I followed onemorebite’s recipe to a tee except the ricotta, it sure is a “always perfect” recipe, the pancakes come out light and fluffy.

BEHOLD!!!!!!!! The glorified Fool’s Gold Stack!!!

The fool’s gold stacks is constructed with 9 pancakes + 300 gram Bacon + 150 gram peanut butter!

My heart just skipped a bit just by looking these images again. The CSR golden syrup is rather sickening sweet, which I ended up not using it much except the few drizzle while taking the photos. Eating it was just as challenging as making them, and I definitely worked up a sweat and feeling rather dizzy.

I think is best for me to lie down for a second, most updates and recipes to follow.

Also, go and check out the chocolate pancakes at Here comes the food!

Well let’s put the pancake stacks into numbers, shall we? (probably not a good idea, but what the heck!)

So according to the chart above, the fool’s gold stack will consists of a whopping 1953.23 calories! (Next biggest loser contestant here I come!) According to the calorie count website, if there is 330 calories in a Macdonald’s cheeseburger, which means I would have consumed 6 cheeseburgers in total!

I have to confess I actually couldn’t finish the whole pancake stacks, BUT only a small portion less than a quarter left on the plate, that’s when I started feeling dizzy. It was way passed 30 mins mark, and the pancakes started getting soggy, and the bacon are cold, then I just had to stop. The Pom detest that my version is not what Jesus had, he insisted Jesus won’t have bacon and peanut butter with his pancakes! So he decided to make his own so called “biblical” pancakes for himself, which looks like a big wide crepe that covers the whole plate! (pic below)

Despite his effort, I used up the left over mixture and made him a real “Biblical” pancake CROSS! It is totally biblically incorrect. He looked at me in disgrace, if he only knew I actually had a plan to make a pancake looks like the face of jesus christ. *hmmm….*

Note: Jesus didn’t eat pancakes! (Thanks to Ms K who obviously hanging out with Jesus more than we do and corrected us. Oh and thanks for sharing the Jesus Pan, only if I knew… my fool’s gold stack will be a piece of art!)

I am back for the last update. I had a long walk this afternoon, then also went for a swim afterwards and I felt much better (at least the guilty conscience has eased a little) I actually weighed myself before the whole pancake madness, and surprisingly I weighed myself again after, and the weight stays the same. I guess I just have a good bowel.

Anyway, for those who would like to indulge themselves with the Fool’s Gold Stack, here’s the recipe for this amazing heart stopper.

Ingredients: (my take on onemorebite’s recipe) – yield 14 pancakes around 15cm in diameter
1. 4 eggs (seperated)
2. 2 tbsp white sugar
3. 200ml full cream milk
4. 175ml greek yoghurt
4. 50g melted butter
5. 1 ½ cup self raising flour

6. 300g bacon
7. 150g peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)
8. maple syrup preferred

Method:
1. fry the bacon and set aside on paper towel.
2. Add sugar and egg yolks and beat until pale and creamy.
3. Mix full cream milk and yoghurt together, stir and get rid of the yoghurt lumps.
4. pour the mixture into the egg yolks, stir until all mix well together
5. sift the flour into the mixture, mix well until well combined
6. beat the egg white with an electric mixer until soft peak.
7. carefully fold the egg white into the mixture, and your pancake mix is ready.

8. melt some butter into a pan, and turn to medium heat.
9. scoop about 1/2 cup of the mix into the pan.
10. let it cook on one side until bubbles appear on the surface.
11. flip to the other side and cooked until golden brown.

To make the Fool’s Stack Gold
1. start with the bottom layer of pancake
2. top with 2 – 3 strips of bacon
3. spread some peanut butter on top.
4. repeat step 1 – 3 until using up all pancakes or bacons
5. drizzle a generous portion of maple syrup and you are ready to be live like Elvis!

This is all good fun, the things we do for charity. I do not encourage people to make such a monstrous pancakes on a regular basis.

Please spread the words around to support Pancake Day and support the UnitingCare fundraising charity!
