Pancakes are one of the staple meals when it comes to breakfast or dessert. This sweet and savory dish titillates our taste buds with its warm, creamy butter and sticky syrup. What’s great about pancakes is that you can mix and match ingredients to complement your taste buds. If you’re looking for something fruity, you can add blueberries and strawberries for a tangy twist. If you want something more piquant, on the other hand, you can add bacon and eggs instead. While it may seem daunting to stray from the typical pancake meal, here are a few easy recipes you can do to mix up your pancake breakfast.
