Pancakes
Here’s a not too original idea on how to upgrade your Sunday brunch for tomorrow – pancakes!
By the way, you don’t really need a photo, do you?.. I’m pretty sure you can imagine how wonderful they taste, especially since you get to decide what you’ll have with it!
I bring you the basic pancake recipe but highly recommend you play with it a little. How exactly? Use your imagination! And don’t forget to top the pancakes with some of your favourites.
Pancake ideas:
- Add crushed banana or two and some cinnamon to your mixture, and have banana-cinnamon pancakes
- Add finely chopped apple and cinnamon, and have apple-cinamon pancakes
- Add (fresh) berries to your mixture or spread some (frozen ones) when cooking your pancakes, and have berry-pancakes
- Add fruit salad to your mixture, and have fruity pancakes (thanks Elie)
- Add melted chocolate to your mixture, and have chocolate pancakes
And here are ideas for pancake toppings:
- Syrups and sauces: maple syrup, honey, hot blueberry sauce, jam
- Dairy and chocolate based: ice cream, whipped cream, vanilla cream, chocolate sauce (or melted chocolate), nutella spread
- Fruits: fresh berries,apricot, pineapple, apple, banana, cherries, fruit salad, hot blueberry sauce, Berries Purée
