In all our years as enthusiastic food consumers (read: big eaters) we have never encountered a pancake we didn't like. While some of that can surely be credited to the whole "cake" part, much of our fascination with the breakfast stems from the fact that people are constantly finding creative ways to take what is basically just a simple bread and turn it into a work of art -- and a delicious work of art at that.

Case in point: these ricotta pancakes from Blog Chef. As if luscious whipped cream generously spread on each of the three cakes wasn't enticing enough, the creamy Italian cheese was added to the batter. Perfectly ripe strawberries provide bright contrast with the otherwise colorless stack and serve as a sweet, palate-pleasing antidote to another of the pancake's hidden ingredients: lemon zest. Luckily, "hidden" doesn't mean "secret," since the recipe is available online.
