That said, I couldn't create any recipes, it just didn't feel right. Fortunately, the mid season finale finally let in a ray of light...and a twinkle of hope. With that hope comes the ability for me to make a dish in tribute of the ones we lost that day, Abraham and (my favorite character) Glenn.
When you were, uh, pouring the Bisquick, were you trying to to make pancakes?
And while I could have made pancakes from scratch, where would the fun in that have been? I mean, there's nothing wrong with using a box of Bisquick—I grew up with Bisquick pancakes!
But I don't want to talk about that. I will never watch that episode again. I just can't.
I can close my eyes and enjoy a tall stack of these pancakes smothered in raspberry syrup, though. They only bring happy emotions.

Bisquick Pancakes w/ Raspberry Maple Syrup
prep time: 5 MINScook time: 5 MINStotal time: 10 mins
Fresh raspberry maple syrup poured over intentional Bisquick pancakes, is a nod to Glenn and Abraham (The Walking Dead), and a sad reminder of how we lost them.
INGREDIENTS:
For the pancakes:
- 1 recipe Bisquick Ultimate Pancakes, prepared as directed on the box (or more)
For the raspberry maple syrup:
- 12 ounces fresh raspberries, rinsed
- 1 cup real maple syrup
INSTRUCTIONS:
- While you're making the pancakes, per the recipe on the Bisquick box, combine most of the raspberries with the maple syrup in a small saucepot over medium heat on the stove (save a few for the later). Let it bubble, then use a barbed wire-wrapped wooden baseball bat (or a wooden spoon) to bash the raspberries to a pulp.
- Remove from heat. If you like, pass a portion of the syrup through a wire-mesh strainer. Stir in the reserved whole berries (or save them and add them to your plate).
- Serve a tall stack of Bisquick pancakes smothered in warm raspberry maple syrup, trying not to cry while you consume them. You know, because they're so good - not because hope and valor have just been ripped out from under you in the most horrible way imaginable.
