Chocolate Pancakes

desserts

3/4 cup margarine
3/4 cup cocoa
2 cup flour
1 1/2 cup sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter cream frosting

Melt the margarine and mix with the cocoa. In a small bowl, mix flour and salt. In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs. Then add sugar, vanilla, and beat well. Add flour and margarine mixture to this and blend thoroughly. Heat skillet to medium-low. Drop small clumps (about 1 T) and cook like pancakes: about 1 1/2 minutes on one side, 1/2 minute on the other, then turn over again and remove after a few seconds. Freeze. When relatively hard, coat one side with buttercream frosting. NOTES: * Brownies in a skillet -- This recipe is based on a "chocolate turtle" recipe by Mae Rabenius from a cookbook produced by Faith United Methodist Church in Phoenix, Arizona. Yield: 40 pieces. * One side of the pancakes may burn. It doesn't particularly affect the taste, and if you frost this side, no one will even know. * It's not necessary to cook the pancakes completely; if the middle looks somewhat gooey, don't fret: it will soon harden. : Difficulty: easy. : Time: 10 minutes preparation, 30 minutes to cook, 10 minutes to frost. : Precision: approximate measurement OK. : Duane Morse : International Anasazi, Inc., Phoenix, Arizona : noao!mot!anasazi!duane : Copyright (C) 1986 USENET Community Trust
