We Flip for Pancakes

Serve a tall stack of these Saturday-morning favorites for breakfast any day of the week.

Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes

According to one of our on-line reviewers, "These pancakes were absolutely fabulous. I've tried several whole wheat pancake recipes before. These are by far the best I've ever had. My husband and my mother (both picky eaters) loved them."

Pecan Pancakes

A sprinkle of cinnamon and the addition of toasted pecans to the batter make these thick and hearty pancakes an extra-special breakfast treat.

Basic Buttermilk Pancakes

It only takes 10 minutes to whip up the batter for these classic buttermilk pancakes. Serve up a stack drizzled with melted butter and syrup, or try one of the variations of the basic recipe: Fresh Berry, Apple-Walnut, or Orange-Chocolate Chip.

Pumpkin-Ginger Pancakes with Ginger Butter

Pumpkin is not just for the fall holidays–use canned pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to make sweet, rich pancakes that are perfect for any special day. The crowning glory for this stack of cakes is the candied ginger butter made with chopped crystallized ginger and softened butter.

Peanut Butter Pancakes

Peanut butter fans will cheer for these nutty pancakes featuring chunky peanut butter in the batter. And nothing goes better with peanut butter than jam, so top the pancakes with your favorite flavor of jam, jelly, or fruit syrup.

5 Spot Banana Pancakes

After you ladle portions of the batter onto the griddle, top each pancake with a few slices of banana, then turn the cakes and cook until they're lightly browned. You'll see that these fruit-topped breakfast treats really hit the spot.

Oven-Puffed Pancake

Instead of cooking single pancakes on a griddle, make one big one in a cast-iron skillet and bake it. When it gets puffy and golden, take it out of the oven and top it with powdered sugar and jam.

Lemon-Ricotta Pancakes

The texture of these pancakes is fluffy and light due to the beaten egg whites in the batter, but the taste is extra-rich because of the buttermilk and ricotta cheese. Grated lemon peel adds just a touch of citrus. We recommend serving these with fresh strawberries or bananas for a sweet and tangy breakfast delight.
