Hi Folks -

I have been drooling over the recipes' in Derek's recent giveaway thread, so I picked out the one that intrigued me the most - grunt's pulled pork pancakes!

I bought a pot large enough to brine a roast that is a little larger than a gallon jug, and a couple of misc spices that I needed and did not have on hand and set to work.

I made my rub - I used Drift Creek Gourmet Smoked Paprika in place of the normal stuff. ;^)

The pork shoulder roast - this one was a 7.6lb beauty - and pork is not that spendy.

My brine solution ready - I had to alter the recipe a little here - my pot required a little over 2 gallons of water to cover the roast, so I added more salt and ingredients.

It brined all night in the fridge, then I put on the rub and put it in the oven at 0600 sharp!

Right at 9:30pm the roast hit 200 degrees internal temp - man was that hard smelling that awesome roast all evening and not being able to eat it!!

Just as grunt said, the bone pulled right out - the meat is fork tender for sure!

I had a sandwich this evening - mmmmmmm!!!

Tomorrow evening or Saturday we will have the pancakes with the bourbon sauce - I am looking forward to that!

Thanks for the great recipe, grunt!

I will update this with pics of the pancakes.

I also intend to do a few of the other recipes and review in kind here in the JK Forum.

best regards -

Nah - that will have to wait until Saturday - I was out late last night (darts), tomorrow I have to be in at 6:15 to interview some candidates for a position on my team, so not gonna happen until Sat.

I did pick up some Makers Mark though - ready to make the topping!!

Thanks for a great recipe, grunt, and also thanks for prompting me to make homemade buttermilk pancakes! I won't buy boxed mix ever again!
I plan on playing with that recipe and adding a little salt and maybe even some buckwheat flour. This time I added a little vanilla, which I always add to the boxed mixes just because I like it.

Thank you, gentlemen!

Yes - the kitchen has been awesome - should have done this years ago. Makes for a nice place to play with wonderful recipes!

viKtim #10 is right at home, if not a little like a bull in a china shop due to his rugged shoulders.

If anyone wanted to shortcut this awesome recipe, you could get pulled pork at a local BBQ if available, and then follow the instructions for the pancakes and syrup!

When I was done with my pancakes, I used a couple of spoonfuls of the syrup in a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. It was good. ;^)

Definitely need some buckwheat flour or even a little oatmeal to add to pancakes. I like the texture and flavor of them over regular buttermilk. Still looks mighty tasty.
 
Looks like it turned out well sir! glad you liked it. home made pancakes are crazy good, easy, and so much cheaper lol
