Jim Tressel's Mancakes

This is so great. So there's a blog out there that is about "college football recipes" or some such. I don't know if they are recipes inspired by college football celebrities or actually shared by them, but this place has something called "Jim Tressel's Mancakes," because he's such a man, he doesn't eat pancakes, he eats mancakes.

I will warn you, the writer of the blog uses naughty words, which is almost as bad as not liking Ohio State. Anyway, here's the recipe:

1 c. wheat flour
1 c. oatmeal
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbspn brown sugar
4 tbsp ground flax seed
1 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp nutmeg ground
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 c milk
2 eggs
1 tbsp butter

add dried fruits, or maybe almonds

mix to same consistency as regular pancake batter and cook normally.

Photo caption: Jim likes to celebrate victories over Michigan with a big stack of mancakes. He also likes to forget the sting of bowl losses to SEC with a big stack of mancakes, 'cause in the South, they're not man enough to eat mancakes. That's why they have grits.
