Potato Pancakes (Col. Sanders)
Ingredients
- 2 cups (400 g) mashed potatoes (about 1 pound)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons (60 g) butter, melted
- 1 beaten egg
- 1 cup (120 g) flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Vegetable oil for frying
- With an electric hand mixer, combine mashed potatoes, salt, butter and beaten egg.
- Combine flour and baking powder in a small mixing bowl and then add flour mixture slowly to mashed potatoes, working in as much of the flour as needed to make a soft but firm dough.
- Turn out onto a working surface that has been generously dusted with flour. Gently turn the dough over on itself a few times. Then roll out or pat out to a 1/2-inch (13 mm) thickness.
- Spoon additional flour onto a saucer near the stove top.
- Heat 1/8-inch (3 mm) of oil over moderately high heat in a large heavy skillet until it is hot but not smoking. Keep about a cupful of oil nearby because you will have to replace it as the pancakes fry.
- Dust your hands generously with flour before handling the dough. Tear off a small pancake-size piece of dough, gently dredge it through the flour and place in the hot pan. Fry until until light brown.
- Drain on a plate that has been covered with a paper towel or place in a warm oven until all dough is fried. Serve hot with melted butter or honey. Serves: 4 to 6

Pancake allo sciroppo d'acero (con latticello)!
Ricetta presa da: Pancake allo sciroppo d'acero (con latticello)!
Ingredienti (per circa 6 pancake):
- 1 cup farina 0 (125g)
- 1 teaspoon baking ovvero lievito istantaneo per dolci (2g)
- 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonato di sodio (1g)
- un pizzico di sale
- 1 1/2 tablespoon zucchero (20g)
- 1 uovo grande
- 1 1/2 cup latticello (se non avete il latticello potete usare 180g di panna acida mista a 120g di latte)
- 2 tablespoon di burro fuso (16g)
Preparazione:
In una terrina miscelare brevemente la farina con il lievito, il bicarbonato, il sale e lo zucchero. Aggiungere l'uovo leggermente sbattuto , il latticello (o la panna acida con il latte) e il burro fuso. Il composto va mescolato il minimo indispensabile e non va mai mescolato tanto da farlo diventare liscio e omogeneo se si vuole che rimangano soffici. Questo è come deve apparire il composto una volta mescolato molto brevemente:
Togliete dal fuoco e servite con abbondante sciroppo d'acero....
Sono buonissimi!
Tips & tricks:
- usate solo farina 0. La 00 rende i pancake troppo umidi.
- mescolate il minimo indispensabile lasciando il composto mediamente grumoso, se volete dei pancake soffici
- l'impasto deve avere la consistenza di una pastella per il fritto....non troppo densa, ma neanche troppo liquida

Muffins con gocce di cioccolato
PS: Provate a sostituire il cacao con il Ciobar... una cosa demoniaca per quanto è buona :P
Versione TORTA
Questa ricetta può essere fatta anche in formato TORTA, ma con qualche piccola accortezza nella fase di preparazione.
- Lo stampo che userete dovrà essere, con le dosi qui indicate, di circa 20 cm di diametro.
- Lo stampo da imburrato e "infarinato" con il cacao al posto della farina.
- Usate 2 cartine viene molto meglio.
- Fate stare il tutto almeno mezz'ora (30') altrimenti non cuoce bene.

Steve Jobs’s Top 5 Hits in Pop Culture
Steve Jobs’s Top 5 Hits in Pop Culture:
Advertise here with BSA
1. The 1984 ad (1984) The spot that introduced the Apple Macintosh aired only once, on Jan. 22, 1984, during the third quarter of Super Bowl XVIII. People haven’t stopped talking about it since. Envisioning a hellish dystopian future (or was it the present?) of drones under the thumb of a televised Big Brother, the Ridley Scott-directed ad brought on a hot Valkyrie with a hammer to smash through the screen and liberate the masses. What did this have to do with computers? Not much, but it established once and for all the terms of home computing’s dominant rivalry: fascist PCs vs. freedom-fighting Macs. The Apple board got cold feet about showing the ad at the last minute, but Jobs and cofounder Steve Wozniak held firm. In 1999, TV Guide called it the number one commercial of all time. (Ty Burr / The Boston Globe)
2. “Toy Story’’ (1995) In 1986, just after getting tossed out of the company he had founded, Jobs bought the Graphics Group, a computer design and rendering skunk works project from a cash-strapped George Lucas. The new CEO saw the company, renamed Pixar, through a rocky nine years, and he almost sold it more than once. But Jobs believed in the potential of the feature animation team under the leadership of the brilliant John Lasseter, and he infused Pixar’s product with his own values of demanding perfectionism, groundbreaking technology, and emotional resonance. If you don’t think Woody and Buzz Lightyear – and Nemo and The Incredibles and WALL-E – carry Jobs’s DNA in them, just imagine how shiny and empty these movies might have turned out with a different man at the top. (Ty Burr / The Boston Globe)
3. “Think Different’’ (1997) As with “1984,’’ this idea from ad company Chiat/Day ended up with Jobs’s fingerprints all over it. The original pitch illustrated the now-celebrated tagline by showing staffers at the film studio DreamWorks sitting at their workstations. Jobs, newly back in charge of a company with a crippled public image, scotched that. It was his idea to feature inventors, thinkers, and entertainers, and it was his idea to use stark black-and-white photos like the ones he had of Albert Einstein and other personal heroes at home. It was Jobs who could pick up the phone and ask, say, Yoko Ono for the rights to a photo of John Lennon. Despite driving English teachers and other grammarians to distraction, the “Think Different’’ campaign is probably Jobs’s finest image manipulation. Because the only sell was a tiny Apple logo, the ads ran in mainstream magazines and were posted on the walls of elementary schools across the nation. Talk about seeding the future. (Ty Burr / The Boston Globe)
4. Carrie Bradshaw’s PowerBook G3 (1998) Movies and TV shows early on figured out that piggybacking on Apple’s cred gave their characters a cutting-edge vibe. The company was more than happy to oblige. The first Apple product placement was arguably in 1986’s “Short Circuit,’’ and by the 1990s, Macs were showing up everywhere from “Mission: Impossible’’ to Jerry Seinfeld’s apartment. But it was “Sex and the City’’ coming along in 1998 (two years after Jobs’s return to the company he founded) that sealed the deal. Carrie’s Apple lust, on display in episode after episode, posits the Mac as the ultimate chic fashion accessory, a creative gal’s best friend, and – let’s face it – a more constant soul mate than any man. (Ty Burr / The Boston Globe)
5. The Stanford commencement speech (2005) It’s on YouTube; there are a lot worse 15 minutes you could spend. In the speech, a visibly frail Jobs – 11 months after his surgery for pancreatic cancer – “connects the dots’’ of his life, from the calligraphy course he took as a college dropout that profoundly influenced the fonts and style elements of the Mac (and thus of our modern life) to his years in corporate exile to the hard fact of death that hangs over all of us, even the college graduates who can’t quite believe what they’re hearing. Don’t waste the gift, Jobs urges. “Stay hungry. Stay foolish.’’ Even before his death last week, the speech had become legendary. Now it’s an epitaph. (Ty Burr / The Boston Globe)
