Twisted Pancakes

8/11/2012

0 Comments

 
Pancakes with a twist can spice up breakfast.  The typical pancake has
flavor for one reason, right?  Because you put something on it
like blueberry sauce, maple syrup or butter. Then you gobble it
up.

If you didn’t add any of those toppings, what would you be left with?  
Nothing but bland flour.  Yecch. So it’s what you put on them
that make them taste good.

Putting something INSIDE the batter is another way to go.  Banana,
strawberry and blueberry pancakes are all dishes you see at IHOP
and other breakfast joints around the globe.

One you don’t see though (at least with not as much regularity
as you see the berry pancakes) is apple cinnamon
pancakes. This is one of my favorites and I built it
by using my dad’s motto of putting new things into the
batter.  He liked to intimidate us into eating asparagus,
green beans and Brussels sprouts when we were kids by
saying he’d put them in our pancakes the next day if we didn’t
finish our veggies at dinner.

While that never pertained to apple and cinnamon, when
I watched our mom make apple pie, I noticed the addition of
cinnamon, and naturally included that in my pancake batter
one morning when I wanted to explore how apples would
taste.  The combination is like a warm, juicy apple pie.

Mix some cinnamon in your pancake batter, heat the griddle,
slice some apples, put the batter in the heated pan, then toss
in 4-5 apple slices.  Flip when the 

batter bubbles.  Add the butter and
syrup.  It’s like apple pie with
syrup and butter for breakfast. 
You can’t beat that.
