From page 6
consistency similar to toothpaste.
Glaze: In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, heat butter and
cream cheese until melted. Whisk together until smooth; whisk in
powdered sugar and vanilla extract; set aside.
Heat large skillet over medium-low heat. Spray with nonstick
spray. Scoop about 3/4 cup batter onto the skillet. Snip the corner
of your baggie of filling and squeeze a spiral of the filling onto the
top of the pancake. When bubbles begin to appear on the sur-
face, flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until browned on
the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet or
platter and keep in a warm oven until ready to serve.
When ready to serve, spoon warmed glaze onto the top of
each pancake.
Tips: Keep the heat low or your pancakes might cook up too
quickly. Don’t flip them until you see those bubbles starting to pop
on top. Flip them with a wide spatula so you can grasp the whole
thing without batter and filling dripping all over the place! It’s best
if you pour the batter onto your skillet, wait a minute or so and
then swirl the cinnamon onto the batter. That’ll give it a chance to
set a little before you add the swirl. If your baggie of filling begins
to get too thick, just pop it in the microwave for a few seconds to
soften it up again. On that same note, it shouldn't be too runny.
The consistency of soft toothpaste is perfect. If it’s melty and run-
ny, it will tend to run all over your pancakes. Once you microwave
it, let it sit on the counter at room temp for a while until it thickens
slightly.
Serves 3-4.

Ike Says…
From page 1
open their lands to drive-in hunting is dimin-
ished. While there are some nice bucks to be
taken, they are few and far between.
I had to chuckle the other day when I got a
phone call about my last article. It seems some
people were taking the liberty to interpret my ar-
ticle and another article in The Independent
about a Nehalem wild coho fishery to mean “in
the local area”. I guess I will have to start adding
a disclaimer to all my articles, but surely any-
body who has lived in Oregon for any amount of
time would know that you must always read the
current fishing and hunting regulations and un-
derstand fully the time, place, method and catch
limit that must be adhered to. I have a hard time
keeping all the regulations straight, I surely
would not put my faith in what some guy in a lo-
cal paper prints! The regulations are available at
your local Point of Sale outlets, or online. Let me
know how confused and messed up your mind is
after you get done reading them all!
Good luck hunting and fishing, and above all,
be safe and legal!
