National pancake day (russian, meal, butter, leftover)

Thanks to Abraham on The Walking Dead, I don't think I'll be eating pancakes any time soon.

Sorry, but no matter where I tried them, American pancakes are boring, flavorless and taste like a cardboard box with syrup on top.
Most people eat them drenched in fake maple syrup. Fake maple syrup resembles real maple syrup about as much as Velveeta resembles a good Camembert.

I'm not much for pancakes, but I make the best crapes. With a small amount of jam inside, rolled up, with powdered sugar sprinkled on top.

wow, If I would eat them I want the bacon or sausage as well. Sat or Sun breakfast isn't complete without meat.

I like homemade from scratch, buttermilk pancakes (usually follow this recipe from joy of baking

I haven't made them in a long time (since I moved away and living without my son), but usually will swap some of the white wheat flour for a more interesting flour like spelt (not all, but some), or almond meal. gives it a nice nutty flavor.

I like mine with a tart cheese (like goat cheese, or labane) and a little drizzle of date honey. In a pinch, regular cream cheese will do also. Don't knock it till you've tried it :-)

ETA: these also freeze beautifully so they're great to have on hand for a quick breakfast

????? Pancake day was in February this year.

Best recipe is a cup of flour, cup of buttermilk, an egg and two teaspoons of baking powder.

Most restaurants in America use packet mix, you can taste the chemicals. It amazes me that that is easier/more economical for them than having cooks break eggs.

I went to iHop and even there the pancakes had a cardboard taste to them
