Pancakes

These are pancakes. Pancakes are pancakes.
These are pancakes. Pancakes are pancakes.
These are really sort of the classic waffle (American, not Belgian). They’re light, fluffy, and crisp on the outside. The plain ones are good with anything, and the corn ones are amazing with maple syrup and butter. They’re only good hot, so invite a friend over for breakfast!
This is one of my favorite recipes. I used to beg my mother to make it. I make it without nuts and it is just as tasty.
This recipe places a close second to the world’s best corn pancakes, those found at the Wishbone restaurant in Chicago. I’ve never tried to make their corn pancakes and sweet red pepper sauce, partly out of intimidation, partly out of respect. I do, however, make these from time to time, and as with all-things-breakfast, use anything but pure maple syrup and I’ll have to kill you. If it’s the middle of winter and you’re really aching for some corn goodness, I suppose some good quality canned corn will do, but make these in late summer or early fall for best results.
I only make this two or three times a year because it’s more effort than I’m usually willing to put into breakfast. It’s worth it, though, especially if you’re having a bunch of people over. I try to bake my own bread for this, but if I can’t, I try to buy an unsliced loaf of good white bread from a local baker (if you’re near Portland, Maine, Standard Baking Company’s pan de mie was perfect). Fresh strawberries make this already perfect breakfast dish perfect-er.
