Simple Yet Gourmet

Say hello to my new favorite breakfast!  Not only are these delicious and indulgent, they are so easy to make.  I actually think these are easier than regular pancakes.  They cook faster and since they are so thin you don't have to worry about the batter flying off when you flip them over.  Another bonus is that they are so versatile.  They were wonderful with the bananas, whipped cream, and chocolate syrup but you could do any combo you like.  Caramel sauce was delicious with the bananas, and strawberries were perfect with the chocolate sauce.  You could even take it a step further and sprinkle it with mini-chocolate chips or chopped nuts.  

My little girl turned 10 years old this past Friday so I surprised her with Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes. I served it with fresh strawberries and raspberry syrup. They were amazing, this recipe will be one of our family favorites for sure. Like always, I combined two different recipes into one to make and the added a few things to make the "perfect recipe." It was a nice change from the boring, buttermilk pancake recipe!

I think every cook should have a good pancake recipe. You can make them simple or really fancy, depending on how you serve them. My family loves pancakes, so I have tried many different recipes. Martha Stewart takes my vote for the best, the buttermilk is what makes the recipe. These are so good no matter what you serve them with. We love coconut syrup, pure maple syrup or in the summer, fresh fruit. Enjoy!
