There's a wide open world of pancake innovations out there
Pancakes are a fairly simple and yummy breakfast. However, most people use boxed mixes, since they’re more accessible than making them from scratch. This means plenty of pancakes tend to taste the same, which would wear on anyone’s taste buds. Pancakes can be so much more than buttermilk and flours! You can make them with vegetables and seeds, and smother them in creams and fruits instead of syrups. There’s a wide open world of pancake innovations out there, starting from just simple latkes (potato pancakes). Here’s a list of 13 additional ways to up your pancake game and revolutionize your breakfast.
