| |  Pancake ideas
I am looking for new ideas for making pancakes. I have fallen into a rut and need something new to do. Any ideas? |

What are your old ideas that now bore you? Do you mean breakfast? Savory/side dish? Dessert? Please help us help you.

A LONG time ago, a pancake house in Augusta had ham pancakes with a cheddar sauce, chicken pancakes with milk gravy, tuna pancakes (cannot remember the sauce), and a host of other "dinner choices".

I usually make only sweet pancakes, not savory. I make them 1/2 whole wheat and throw in some walnuts and sometimes some flax seed if I have it.
The savory pancake idea sounds interesting, but not with tuna. |

Pancakes with peanut butter and molasses syrup are a variation I like. Then there's crepes filled with cream cheese, served hot with jam or fruit syrup on them. |

Here are a few: - Dutch babies (kind of like giant pancake popovers) with powdered sugar and lots of lemon
- Banana Pancakes
- Chopped nectarines
- Pancakes with chocolate chips, orange zest and orange extract
- Cut the sugar in half and substitute 1/4 of the flour for corn flour, add some fresh or canned corn kernels, and some chopped jalapenos
- Pigs in their blankets
- Apple cinnamon (apple sauce added to the batter)
- Buckwheat pancakes (replace 1/4 of the flour with an equal amount of buckwheat flour)
- Mixed grain -- Mix buckwheat, wholewheat, rolled oats, corn flour, rye, etc., in any proportion you like, and mix it with white flour. You'll want to keep about 50% white flour or the pancakes will be too gritty and heavy.
- Latkes
- Pecan or walnut pancakes
- Bacon-bit pancakes

......yes, speaking of oranges,
Grand Marnier Pancakes with Grand Marnier Ice Cream.....
Grand Marnier on ice....I finsih this with a cup of black tea, 1/2 ounce of Grand Marnier which makes the tea taste like Blueberries.
I will take the "Pancakes" for supper anytime.
Chef BDL, I enjoyed the simplicity of your pancake recipe that you posted (one of everything).
Thank you,

Lots of great ideas here!
I am especially intrigued by the one that has the corn flour, corn and jalapeños. What would you use as an accompanying sauce or syrup? |

Got a craving for pancakes now....
Sweet options
- simply spread with blackberry jam (jelly) and top with heavy cream
- top with rich vanilla icecream and butterscotch sauce
- macerated berry fruits in season, thick dollop of chantilly cream, sprinkle of icing (confectioner's) sugar
Savoury (wot BDL said on adjusting the recipe)
- make a stack of small ones, layer with bolognaise sauce, shredded tasty cheddar, topped with shavings of parmesan
- make a giant one (12" pan), fill with chicken mornay, roll, top with cheese, under griller(broiler) till golden and bubbly
- creamy, peppery mushroom sauce (in stack again) topped with rashers of crispy fried bacon
- poached egg and hollandaise sauce
- Huevos rancheros style, just substitute tortilla with good sized pancake

How about a tequila-butter sauce? Kind of like butterscotch. (I'm not going to try it but it would be interesting if someone else did and told me how it came out). |
