Happy Friday!!!

If you follow us on social media, you will see that pancakes are a regular staple here. My son loves loves loves, did I mention LOVES pancakes? Which means I need to be a bit creative with the toppings. Especially when the seasons change. For the life of me, I can never remember this recipe! I do remember that the base recipe was from Martha Stewart about 15 years ago.

Fall toppings are filled with cinnamon chips, pumpkin and apples. Winter is all about mint, mint, and mint! Then in Spring mini M&M’s, crushed Mini Eggs, and chocolate usually takes center stage. Summer toppings are filled with lemon, strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. Bananas, Peaches, Oreos, and marshmallows also make appearance throughout the year. We make fresh whip cream to join them from time to time and of course a dusting of powdered sugar and maple syrup to top. Fruit compotes are also used for syrups from time to time.

Craving Buttermilk Pancakes? Replace the milk for buttermilk in the recipe.

Need more than 6-8 pancakes, double up the recipe.

For almond pancakes, add almond flour in place of the flour. Add 1-2 tablespoons of regular flour to thicken it up.

I use this batter for waffles as well, replace the flour for cake flour, double the vanilla and 1/2 cup of additional cake flour.

We have also started to use one tablespoon of sugar for the batter instead of two.
