The basics

Monday. And a cup of stovetop espresso (Sahadi's Danish roast), with hot milk. And cornmeal flapjack with sweet butter and lingonberry jam. A reason to rise.

Two Cornmeal Flapjacks:

1/2 cup equally mixed yellow cornmeal and cake flour
1/2 tsp baking pwder
pinch salt
Enough milk for a stiff batter, about 1/4 cup

Mix all the ingredients quickly.  Heat a pan with some butter in it, then turn to low, spoon in mixture. Cook on each side for about 4-5 minutes, medium-low. When the bubbles that form on the top surface pop, it is time to flip.
