Big John's Calgary Stampede Flap-Jacks

"This tasty(if unhealthy)recipe is one I've used during Stampede Breakfasts for years. These are real "stick to the ribs" western flap-jacks that will wreck any diet in seconds. I've always had a large electric or very large gas griddle to use, but one that will cook 4 at a time will do as well. Can be eaten with your hands, but not with syrup!!"

  1. I have fond memories of being a little girl and visiting my grandparents in Calgary during Stampede week. I remember we would rise very early one morning to travel downtown for the street vendor breakfast, where we ate these VERY flapjacks with a piece of bacon in the middle! In this case I had made the bacon ahead of time and forgot to save my grease. Therefore I used olive oil in the pan. Delicious! Thanks for the memories, Big John! {Made for Bargain Basement Tag}

I live in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies and have always enjoyed cooking. I do wish my friends would try new things more often, it's not like I've ever made them sick... often. I'm no longer submitting to any recipe site but you can find many of my recipes at my page listed below.
