"pancakes" news and stories

The long weekend's over, you're back on the job, and maybe you need some comfort food to take the edge off. Our suggestion, via blogger (cup)cake eater, is to treat yourself to a good old country breakfast, and put a batch of fluffy maple corn fritters on the griddle. Comfort food is the star in Joni Marie Newman's vegan cookbook Cozy Inside, and you can check out her fritters recipe here.

Want more corn? It's the height of the season, and we're going to be featuring corn for the rest of the week in recipes that take it off the cob and into a chowder, a relish, and some very spicy muffins.

Hooray for the red, white, and... blueberries? Blogger manda2177 at "I Am Mommy" creates a long stack in an homage to Old Glory by layering regular and red-velvet pancakes, scattering them with the berries, and pouring on the blueberry syrup. Red velvet basically means adding cocoa powder, buttermilk, beetroot (ok, you can use red food coloring, but doesn't beetroot sound better than Red Dye Number 6?). If you want to build your own breakfast flag (or, come to think of it, a breakfast barber's pole), try Manda's recipe.

And if you've got a knock-our-socks off idea for a July 4th breakfast, bring it on, in the Comments section.

Happy National Blueberry Pancake Day!

Happy bellies give props to whoever had the stroke of genius to create this formidable duo today. Pancakes frittered with bursting blueberries are the ultimate morning treat -- especially when you have the foresight to refrigerate the dough the night before, for a no-fuss breakfast.

For our absolute favorite blueberry pancake recipe, check out Epicurious' Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes for a perfectly fluffy, buttery, golden-to-perfection variety. To enhance the dish with an extra flavor boost, they even recommend cooking them in the same pan that you cook your bacon in, for a salty-sweet nuance.
