When some people wake up in the morning, they may think about coffee or even their day ahead of them, but I personally think of pancakes when I wake up in the morning.
I have been making pancakes for as long as I can remember. I used to make them all the time when I was younger with my aunt, and I have been making them on my own since freshman year of high school. So I guess I could say I know a thing or two about pancakes and how they operate. I have seen tons of pancake recipes throughout my days as a self-proclaimed breakfast chef. I have seen everything from regular old-fashioned buttermilk pancakes to caramelized butternut almond pancakes.
So in this blog article, I am going to give you my three most creative pancake recipes out there. These recipes are not only unique in ingredients; they are also extremely unique with taste. Two of these recipes come from my very own secret pancake database, while one of them comes from www.halfhourmeals.com.
