Wow, Mike, thanks for the very in-depth and informative recipe testing! Pancakes and compote definitely take some finesse to get them just how you want them, so thanks for the extra advice.

Read this recipe in the January 2011 Backpacker magazine. Looked so good, I bought the ingredients immediately, and made this at home for this morning’s breakfast.

The pancakes are awesome, and have a real on-the-trail look, texture, and flavor. Wow. I’d advise fans to use a little less water, and add it slowly to get the thicker batter consistency. I did try the zip loc bag method, and dumped in a full cup of water, and it seemed too soupy (so I added more pancake mix). So go slow on the adding water step.

The compote was great too, and I made the mistake of buying the big dried fruit pieces and having to chop them up. Stick with dried fruit that comes already chopped. I’d say add more sugar, and white sugar would be okay too. Less water will speed up cooking time. 2 1/2 cups of water took over an hour to reduce. Practice this one at home to get the water/sugar ratio in your head, and you will be able to make a reduction or syrupy fruit topping anytime, anywhere.

This is a great way to add more fruit to your life! (Okay – more sugar too)

I can’t wait to try this out again — on the trail!

Thanks for a fabulous meal, and most of all for the introduction to this blog!
