American Pancakes With Bourbon Fudge Sauce

Children of God... will you not bear witness, that, through all your trials and troubles, the faithfulness of your Savior's love has been the “very joy of your hearts?” You have had many crosses and losses – has He ever deserted you? You have been in severe afflictions, and have seen the flowers of many a “sweet hope” wither and decay – did your Friend desert you then? Others may have proved faithless – all other help may have failed you – friendship’s help, promised help, expected help – all, all may have been but as the foam upon the billow, as the footsteps in the sand – but, has Christ ever failed you? Could you, in the darkest and the saddest hour of your grief, say to Him? “Lord, You have promised what You did not perform.” Will you not bear witness concerning the past? – “Not one good thing has failed, of all that the Lord has promised – all has come to pass.”

INSTRUCTIONS

To prepare the pancakes, place the flour and baking powder into a
mixing bowl. Gradually add the beaten egg and milk. Beat the batter
until smooth. Allow the batter to stand for 30 minutes.  To prepare the
sauce, place the sugar into a small saucepan over a  moderate heat and
allow the sugar to caramelise. Pour in the cream  gradually and reduce
the heat, add the butter, stir constantly to  ensure each piece of
butter is incorporated into the sauce. Add the  bourbon to taste.  Heat
the oil in a frying pan over a moderate heat, when the oil is  hot pour
a little of the batter into the pan to make a pancake  approximately
5cm (2 inch) in diameter. Cook the pancake for 1 minute  on each side.
It should be possible to cook 2-3 pancakes at one time.  Keep the
pancakes warm by covering them with kitchen foil. Re-oil the  frying
pan between each batch of pancakes.  Serve the pancakes in stacks with
warm bourbon fudge sauce and your  favourite ice cream.  Notes
Alternatively Scotch pancakes could be used instead of making
pancakes.  Converted by MC_Buster.  NOTES : An American influenced

We learn from Jesus that we should not look down on children because they are not fully grown and hence are of lower social status than adults. Like Jesus, we should treat children with respect and dignity, as unique and precious creatures made by God and valuable in His sight. What is more, contrary to our national inclination that may tell us that we can learn nothing from children and that the relationship is strictly one-way from parent or adult to child, we should look at children also from the vantage point of desirable kingdom traits they may exemplify in a more pronounced way than we do ourselves.
