I find writing it down really brings it home for me. Which is cathartic. Once I have written it, and read it, it becomes more logical. So I resisted the temptation to improvise. I had no eggs and that face on a five year old will melt anyone. Pancakes were on order and so I pulled out a recipe of eggless pancakes and used it. To the t.when it said 1 tbsp sugar for 1.5 cups flour, and clearly not enough milk. I followed it. My insides were saying, use some brown sugar. Ooohhhh, some golden syrup right here in the batter. But I didn't.
The result was so shockingly horrible that I want to find the person who uploaded that recipes and stuff cutely shaped pieces of flour down their throat. Errr the shapes were a bit of the inspired. Used oversized cookie cutters to make 6 different shapes.
The thing I don't get is the bitterness.... Too much baking powder? I did think it was too much. Oh god I am so confused - to improvise or not to improvise - there lies the question!
