There is no doubt that people will think we talk about GW Fins too much, but we are indebted to them for providing us with much entertainment throughout this bizarre period. We have always thought this a delicious restaurant and they, more than anyone else, have offered to share their tricks of the trade with all of us at home.
We have used their compound butters to make exemplary barbecue shrimp. We have simmered simple scallops and slabs of fish in their caper butter, making made them sublime. And we have made biscuits for breakfast sandwiches out of their biscuit mix.
We wouldn’t do that again, but these would make great strawberry shortcake. And, the best pancakes EVER, as it turns out. We Had two bags of this magic in the refrigerator and decided to try the pancake version. We amped up the ingredients, using buttermilk for the whole milk stated in the recipe, and we added a Tablespoon of vanilla.
We let this batter sit for a while, until there was a healthy amount of bubbles on top.
Heating a cast iron skillet slowly as to not burn the melting butter, the first pancake went in. It was quickly apparent a new skillet was required. We switched to stainless steel, and it was perfect. After that, each batter pour produced a half inch high fluffy pancake.
One taste separated these pancakes from all the others in our lives. We decided to treat them as such. We brought out raspberries and dusted them with powdered sugar. These were pancakes to be savored, which we certainly did., and while we savored these pancakes we realized how dependent we are on GW Fins. They can’t ever cut us off.
