Did you know that February 28th is National Pancake Day??
To celebrate, Target and Amazon are offering a nice discount on T-fal cookware.
Speaking of T-fal, I recently received one of their Thermo-Spot™ non stick fry pans and I’m in love with it. It features T-fal’s patented Thermospot™ technology. Their unique heat indicator shows when the pan is ready to seal in flavor and prevents burning.
I love this pan – everything slides right off, and the Thermospot™ technology is so convenient.
So, back to the poppers – I know the concept sounds crazy.
But just stay with me here.
It’s the typical popper recipe, but amped waayyy up.
The pancake batter is thick, adds a sweet element, and makes the entire popper a superior experience to be had.
Also, what I did that’s way different is the addition of a dip.
I say different because it’s honey mustard.
Yes, honey mustard. I don’t usually make honey mustard. It’s not because I don’t like it, I do. I suppose I just rarely think about it.
It’s an unexpected and amazing life partner for these little poppers. Now, you can’t use just any mustard. No, it will change the taste and won’t be the same. Please don’t use regular ass mustard.
One wouldn’t expect this to work, but OH MY WORD, it does.
Very well.
I think it goes hand in hand with the whole pancake thing, maybe??
These are off the charts ridiculously, insanely delicious.

These look divine. So divine, in fact, that I think you should consider an autumn trip to the State Fair of Texas — the cook-off. It’s ground zero for fried goodness. And I’m serious as fuck.
