In
fact,
go into
any restaurant
serving
breakfast
and you
can absolutely
expect
to see
this offering
on every
single
menu.
While
it's true
that you
may enjoy
trying
new things,
American
pancakes
are a
comfort
food that
you come
back to
again
and again,
and for
good reason.
If you've
even dealt
with feeding
children,
you know
just how
frustrating
it can
be. If
it's not
familiar,
they will
turn their
noses
up at
the breakfast
fare.
In fact,
most picky
children
will choose
to go
hungry
rather
than expand
their
comfort
zone when
it comes
to food.
Luckily,
everyone
is a fan
of pan
cakes.
They are
everyday,
simple
food and
perfect
for children.
Actually,
kids love
to watch
the made
to order
process
that goes
into making
pancakes.
Or, try
waffles
for a
change
of pace.
If you
have a
cast iron
waffle
or Cuisinart
waffle
maker,
there's
just something
magic
about
watching
batter
dropped,
seeing
the lid
shut and
then having
a crisp
holey
pastry
appear
in it's
place.
What's
not to
love?
Once you
find a
recipe
that you
prefer,
it's time
to change
things
up a bit.
Pan
cakes
are the
perfect
vehicle
for adding
and tweaking
for breakfast
fun. The
first
thing
you'll
probably
discover
is that
you can
add any
sort of
fruit
right
to the
batter
itself.
Try peaches
in the
summer
or apples
and pears
in the
fall.
Berries
are also
a nice
addition.
Make sure
your pan
is well
seasoned
and hot
before
dropping
the batter,
as the
extra
sugar
can cause
more sticking
than usual.
Also,
don't
forget
to try
crepes.
While
a crepes
recipe
may put
you off,
it's really
no more
complicated
than a
normal
pancake.
Use
a well-seasoned
nonstick
pan, dropping
the batter
on when
the pan
is well
heated.
A crepe
is really
nothing
more than
a very
thin pancake,
so give
it a try.
Breakfast
is an
ideal
time to
not only
start
your day
off on
the right
foot nutritionally,
but also
to spend
quality
time with
your family.
Everybody
loves
good pan
cakes,
so choosing
this staple
breakfast
food is
a perfect
choice.
Try using
whole
grain
flour
and making
additions
like fruits,
nuts and
chocolate.
With so
many options,
there
will be
something
to please
everybody.
