How do you like your pancakes?

1. I don't know how my mother makes them, but hers are the best. She usually adds fresh fruit to the batter -- apples, peaches, blueberries.

2. With blueberries at Cracker Barrel, after a long bike ride.

The pumpkin ones sound amazing, as I am a pumpkin fiend. Do you reduce the amount of liquid you add? I'll have to check the local Meijer for the mix.

I like buttermilk pancakes, except that I usually use milk that's on the verge of expiring. I top them with butter and real maple syrup.

I've made these Pumpkin Pancakes before, and they were good. I usually don't have room in my calorie budget for pancakes, though....

We like to add any combination to a whole wheat base (corn pancakes the exception):

Psyillum husk
Shredded coconut
Flax seeds
Dried cranberries
dried oatmeal

fresh/powdered ginger
Molasses
pumpkin pie spice
vanilla

fresh corn
agave
vanilla

Fresh bananas
berries
apples

for the top:
Chopped apples+cinnamon+sugar+vanilla+butter. mix in glass bowl and microwave for 1 min. = Caramel Apple topping

Homemade (from scratch) with maple (not imitation) syrup and maragrine...for easy spreading.

If somone else is cooking them, I like my pancakes on my plate ready and warm to eat! Just being silly.

I have a recipe at home for pumpkin pancakes with pecans - they are really good. Love real maple syrup, don't need butter just wasted calories.

I don't make pancakes. But he's pro at making crepes. Probably at least once a month he makes them. He's got his 30 yr. old technique refined and solid. And makes lovely thin crepes quickly. Often we freeze a batch.

He also makes the filling /topping which is creative. Usually some sort of berry, plum, peach or rhubarb or combinations of 3-4 fruits as a compote. Flavoured with grated ginger root, cinnamon, crushed aniseed. Really yummers.

I haven't eaten a pancake in years... might have to have one soon... that pumpkin pancake sounds gooood!

I make MEAN crepes...I don't really use a recipe, just know sort of rough quantities of butter, eggs, flour, and milk to use.

But that Meijer pancake mix sounds great. I have yet to find a Meijer Naturals or Gold product that I didn't LOVE!

Ditto!

Fresh pancakes - just add chunky unsweetened applesause
Leftover pancakes - toast and sprinkle with powered sugar.

I have a couple of grain-free pancake recipes that I make on occasion, but we don't eat them very often. They just don't have good 'staying' power for me.

That said, if I lived near a Cracker Barrel, I'd be all over a plate of their pecan pancakes topped with real maple syrup. YUM! (thankfully, there are no Cracker Barrel's in my area)
