Easy serving suggestions for pancakes?
Answers:
Since pancakes are actually "crepes" made fluffier, think about what you'd like to put in a crepe. Try putting cooked bacon into your batter before you cook them. Top with maple syrup. Stuff your pancakes with cream cheese and strawberries, top with blueberry syrup or whipped cream. Make savory pancakes by adding chopped green onion and shredded asiago cheese, top with your favorite white sauce. Thin your batter and make them into crepes. Stuff with cooked chicken, steamed asparagas, and top with a bechemel cheese sauce. The list is endless!
Pre-make your pancakes and freeze.. Pull them out whenever desired.
