My favorite is cranberry pancakes:

quote
1 cup chopped cranberries
2 cups vanilla yogurt
1 cup yellow corn meal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Butter and maple syrup for accompaniment
Soak cranberries in the maple syrup overnight.
Mix yogurt, corn meal, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add cranberry mixture and stir.
Heat a lightly greased griddle or skillet over medium heat (375*F - 190*C). Griddle is ready when a few drops of water bubble and skitter rapidly around.
For each pancake, pour scant 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook pancakes until surface is covered with bubbles and appear dry around the edges. Turn and cook other side until golden brown.
Makes about 15 to 18 (4-inch) pancakes.

Well, I'd like to say that's how I make them but truth be told I'm not much of a cook. I just throw some cranberries in the "just add water" pancake mix ;-)

You can make pancakes the easy way now with Batter Blaster. You don't have to worry about mixing anything, if you get this. Then just add a little butter and syrup, or any sort of topping that you prefer. I like to add Aunt Jemima light syrup with a little bit of cut strawberries, bananas, and then top it off with some whipped cream.

Yum, Delicious!

My favorite pancakes are bacon pancakes.
Fry 3 thin slices of bacon in the frying pan and when the bacon starts to shrink do the pancake batter in the pan fry until ready.
serve with brown sugar.

Our family loves pancakes, whether they are home made or a mix that is doctored up. Each of us has a favorite additive, so when I make pancakes it is an event.
We have peanut butter and chocolate chip pancakes, blackberry pancakes, and cinnamon vanilla pancakes, then the best pancakes ever are banana nut pancakes. It is easy to do different pancakes because I always add vanilla to the batter, then as I ladle them on the griddle I add what each person likes and cook them up.

One day I was throwing together my usual recipe for pancakes:
2 cups Flour
2 Tbls. Sugar
1 tsp. Salt
4 tsp. Baking Powder
1/4 cup Oil
2 Eggs
1 3/4 cups Milk (or 2 cups Buttermilk)

but I did not have quite enough flour so I threw in some cornmeal with the flour (about 1 1/4 cups flour and 3/4 cup cornmeal) they turned out so good, my kids loved them.

I do an extremely thin version of pancakes...everybody loves them, water down the batter using milk or soy milk if you want it more healthy, the cosistency needs to be able to spread across the whole pan without getting thick. pour this very liquid batter into a very hot skillet that has been sprayed with a little oil, they cook very quickly flip and stack. start stacking them up on a plate, I put out another plate with all different types of fruit and jams, everyone can help themselves to whatever they want, you roll them up like little burritos and enjoy, sort of like crepes. I have done a savory version of this for dinner as well with grilled veggies. Lots of fun and lots of yum!

I'm obsessed with pumpkin pancakes! They have really yummy ones at restaurants, but I found a recipe online that's delicious (and much more affordable):

2 cups flour
3 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground allspice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp vinegar

Mix together wet ingredients, then mix the dry ingredients in. Use about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Brown both sides on a griddle, add some pecans and maple syrup, and enjoy!!

As a kid I loved to go to my cousin's Finish grandmother's house for breakfast. We would have silver dollar pancakes. I loved those sweet, little crispy pancakes.

As an adult, my tastes have gone in a different direction. For several years I prepared an Oatmeal pancake recipe from Jane Brody's Good Food cook book. The recipe was very hearty and include mashed bananas, apples and ingredients I can't even remember.

More recently I have fallen in love with a store bought mix that I doctor up. The mix is Kodiak Cakes. I always add some type of fruit, usually frozen blueberries. I have also tried preparing with seltzer water, ricotta cheese and cottage cheese to enhance the texture. I love the simplicity of just needing to add water to the mix and being able to use as little as 1/2 cup of mix to make one single pancake.

In all cases, I use a bit of real butter, well actually butter whipped with canola oil, and real maple syrup.

This is loved and enjoyed by my kids.

Masala Preparation
----------------------------
For the Masala or the stuffing, take the potatoes and put them in a pressure cooker to boil them. Once they are boiled cool them with cold water and then peel them of. Now take the onions and chop them into thin pieces. Chop the green chillies too.

After this pour some oil in a Pan, add the cumin seeds, salt, and the onions into the oil. Fry them till the onions are red. While the onions are getting fried, mesh the potatoes. Once the onions are fried, mix the meshed potatoes. Mix this mixture for a few minutes. Now its ready to be stuffed into the Dosas.

Nothing fancy, I like either chocolate chips, or adding cocoa powder (just a pinch or two), cinnamon, and some whole grain pastry flour to mixes. I'm a sweet junkie, I admit it on the chips. Adding just a bit of the powder and cinnamon doesn't make it sweet so much as a bit richer, and a little whole grain flour makes them feel more filling. Pastry flour is lighter, so it doesn't weigh them down as much as regular whole grain flour does.

An easy way to make your pancakes more healthy and tasty is to add both banana's and walnuts! In other words, a banana nut pancake!

Simply cut 1 banana into thin slices and crush some walnuts. Add both to your pancake batter and then cook as you normally would. This yummy treat doesn't require syrup, but you can add it if you like! Delicious!
