I was finishing a jar of extremely hot peppers (7 pot primos) that I had fermenting on Thanksgiving day. I made a hot sauce with them and cantaloupe. I had them in a pan at a low simmer to meld the flavors. The problem was the steam coming off was potent as hell. It filled the house when everyone was arriving and coughing from the hot sauce in the air, me included. We had to open all the windows, dig out the fans to get it out of the house, freezing everyone in the process.

    Years ago I accidentally confused baking soda and baking powder… Not a good look.

          Wait a sec. Which one is it and what does it do for pancakes? I love pancakes I’m always down to make them better.

            My grandmother’s pancakes:

            1 Qt. Buttermilk
            2 TBS Baking Soda
            1 TBS Salt
            4 Cups Flour
            2 TBS Baking Powder
            1 Pkg Dry Yeast
            1/4 C. Oil
            6 Eggs

            Put 1 quart buttermilk in large bowl and add 2 TBS Baking SODA and 1 TBS Salt.

            Mix 4 cups of flour with 2 TBS Baking POWDER, stir this mixture into the buttermilk.

            Add one package of dry yeast, 1/4 cup oil. Mix.

            Whip 6 eggs till foamy, fold in mixture. Do not use electric mixer, use mixer tine by hand.

            Pour batter into large pitcher or bowl. Cover with foil.

            The next morning put a cup of milk in the pitcher to thin the batter.

            Heat pan until hot. Add 3 TBS or so of oil, when water droplets sizzle in the pan it’s ready. Cook pancakes in 2s or 3s. When the tops are covered in steam-holes then it’s ready to flip. 2 to 3 minutes or so.

            Lasts 10 days to 2 weeks in fridge. Yeast will turn black over time, this is normal. Stir batter before use.
