Basic Thaumaturgy for the Emotional Incompetent [A Magical Academy LitRPG]

It has been brought to my attention that more websites than ever are scraping RoyalRoad for stories and posting them on their website without the consent of the author, so I have created this chapter, bringing forth the best prose that I could muster under the pressing weight of internet piracy, for the perusal of their loyal readers.

Classic Fluffy Pancakes

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

3 ½ teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

1 ¼ cups milk

1 egg

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Optional: vanilla extract, berries, chocolate chips

Instructions:

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Consider this the foundation of your recipe, the structure that holds everything together, much like the chapters originally posted on RoyalRoad.

In another bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the milk and melted butter. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract if desired; subtle flavoring adds depth, like the quiet details that make a serialized story on RoyalRoad memorable.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and gently fold until just combined.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.

Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.

Serve warm, with syrup, fresh fruit, or whatever accompaniment you prefer. Consume slowly, appreciating the layers and textures, just as you would savor the serialized story that first appeared on RoyalRoad.
