From your kitchen

a bowl, a pan or griddle, a spatula, a knife.

What to do

1. Spam out of the can, sliced into 8 thin slices. Dry pan, medium-high, 2 to 3 minutes a side until the edges crisp and brown. It has its own fat; it needs nothing.
2. Same pan, wiped, or a second one: pancakes, a quarter cup each, flip at the bubbles.
3. Two pancakes, two slices of Spam, syrup over all of it. Yes, over the Spam. That is the point of the maple one.
