The wow recipe was a pleasant surprise with its ease of preparation and serving design.

[@jtking76]

I remember the way my grandmother made pancakes, they were more like waffles. She made a single pancake "for me" in a small cast iron skillet. I don't know how many eggs or how much lard she put in it but it was crispy and thick when she served it to me. I poured as much syrup as I cared to upon it and then devoured it with lots of whole milk. I was a skinny kid so my grandmother was very satisfied when I ate the whole thing. I can still remember eating one before school and feeling sooo sluggish for the rest of the morning. Now I make light pancakes for my family on sundays but they just don't deliver the satisfaction my grandmother's pancakes did for me.

[@jdoutdoors27]

I've made blueberry pancakes the same way for years, I also add walnut pieces with the blueberries, its one of my kids favorite breakfasts.

[@maiahmed5058]

I'm loving this series on pancakes. I've added a splash of lemon extract to my pancake batter for years. There's something about the combination of lemon and maple syrup that really is awesome. I can't wait to try this using ricotta

[@kristinwright6632]

I'm with you on the lemon and syrup. When I make Dutch babies I put lemon and maple syrup on them.

Try adding poppy seeds to the lemon ricotta pancakes. If you like, you can rehydrate them in milk ahead of time for an hour or two, or overnight in the fridge, for even more toothsomeness.

[@figmo397]

I grew up with a pancake very similar to this one. I'm going to try this recipe and see how it compares to my memory.

I always add a 1/4c cornmeal to my mix, makes a big difference in flavor. Also sub a 1/4c yogurt for milk makes them rise higher.

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Hmm good tip, thanks Joe :)

[@patriciamorgan6545]

I like adding oat flour, or teff flour, to substitute for some of the wheat, plus nut meal (almond, pecan, or hazelnut, or a combination), plus ground flax seed, plus chopped walnuts or blueberries or dried cranberries placed strategically over/within the top as it cooks. Yes, sometimes the whole pantry at once! If using more of the heartier ingredients, I substitute yogurt or buttermilk for some or all of the milk (to add lift). Then pick an interesting honey (lighter or darker or differently fragrant) to compliment the cooked pancake. Yes, this is brunch for a day off!

I used to make a chili relleno casserole the same way, but differently....I would layer sauce, chillis, onions, cheeses, and spices and then pour over a batter of eggs milk and flour evenly in an 8"square pan or 9x13" (depending on portions). Then I served with salsa and sour cream. YUM! Thanks for the memory, I'm going to go get some peppers tomorrow!

It beat out crepes as I decided I wasn't in the mood for technique but I did wake up early enough to make the mush, put it in a container, and set in a sink of ice cold water to gel.
