    I was days into my research before I finally found a clue. In an obscure document on the website of the International House of Pancakes Corporation there was a hint that the dark breakfast had been made. IHOP omelettes include pancake batter. While I cannot place IHOP omelettes exactly on the map, by interpolating between pancakes and omelettes, we can bound where they must occur, and confirm that the manifold possibilities do indeed pass through the Dark Breakfast Abyss.

    The "Dark Breakfast" proportions are fairly close to some of the custard batters used in making French Toast.

      Yeah he mentions in the piece that he’s sort of cheating by excluding sliced breads since they don’t go in the stand mixer. If he did I think french toast or bread pudding will end up falling in...

      But even with that limitation I think you start to approach pudding territory with those proportions, which we don’t really do here in the States but I think a Brit would recognize Yorkshire pudding there, or even a Southern spoon bread if we’re willing to grant cornmeal as “flour.”
