Rossy and the Hotcake

This is Rossy.  She makes her own birthday cake every year and always matches her makeup and jewelry to the color of clothing she's wearing.  Yesterday Rossy sent me a text that said she could come over and make a cake, and that she would pick up some "special flour" for the "hotcake." I was confused.  Was Rossy making a cake or pancakes?
It turned out to be a little of both.  The cake was made with pancake mix and had a texture somewhere between angel food cake and pound cake.  It would make a great base for strawberry shortcake.  We couldn't decide whether to top it with raisins or coconut, so we did half and half.  The secret to hotcake seems to be to blend everything for a really, really, really long time.  That's how Rossy did it.

Hotcake

1 c. pancake mix                                                        1/2 c. milk

1 egg                                                                          1/2 c. oil

1/2 c. sugar                                                                raisins, coconut, or other topping of your choice

** Preheat oven to 375* F

** Using a blender, puree the crap out of the sugar and egg.  Add milk.  Blend again.  Add pancake mix.  Blend.  Add oil.  Blend.

** Grease a small pan (we used a 9x4 inch pyrex) and flour it with pancake mix.  Pour the batter in and top it with the raisins or coconut or whatever.

** Bake for 30 minutes. 

Hotcake with coffee hits the spot!
