I admit it, we have a slight breakfast for dinner obsession
in our household. Our standard “I don’t
know what I want to make for dinner”/”I don’t really feel like cooking dinner”
meals include pancakes and waffles.
We’ve also been known to have scrambled eggs and bacon and on a really
desperate night, oatmeal.
Just this past Monday evening we managed to convince some friends
who were having a potluck dinner party to make it a breakfast for dinner
party. Our Mexican/American fare
included fruit, waffles, Tortilla Espaňola and Chilaquiles. It was delicious! I have to say that, although I occasionally miss
the standard American diner breakfast, I have really come to embrace Mexican
breakfast foods. Chilaquiles and tamales
are my favorites!
Here are links to a few of our favorite pancake
recipes. We like to mix things up and at
least pretend like we’re eating something a little healthier than the standard
pancake.
- Apple Cinnamon Pancakes – I love anything with cinnamon and who doesn’t love the flavor of fresh baked apples? I first made these for Dave’s birthday breakfast this last year, and they were definitely a big hit all around.
- Brown Sugar Oatmeal Pancakes – These come out thicker than the average pancake and are probably the healthiest recipe of the bunch. The brown sugar adds just the right amount of sweetness – you don’t even necessarily need syrup.
- Lemon Pikelets - Pikelets are a small pancake found in Austrailia and New Zealand (basically the equivalent of the American silver dollar pancake). These little guys are filled with lemony goodness and served with a touch of sugar and lemon juice rather than the classic accoutrements. The recipe calls for caster or icing sugar, but I have found that standard white sugar works just fine.
Do you have a favorite breakfast recipe you would be willing
to share?
