Good fortune: Having a backlog of B&B recipes to try.
Fate: Choosing the right recipe at the right time, even when you thought you were pancaked-out.
If there were ever a recipe for gourmet pancakes, this is it. Sent to me at a time when I thought I’d had my fill of pancakes & waffles, something about this recipe stood out from the crowd. Perhaps it was the inclusion of shredded apples, the aromatic array of spices, or even the buttermilk. Whatever it was, I’m glad I made them. These pancakes are the epitome of fall, bringing a taste of the season right to your table. I’ve never cooked anything more delightful on a autumn morning.
Brought to my attention by Rodney Williams of the Strawberry Creek Inn Bed & Breakfast in Idyllwild, California, Autumn-Spiced Apple Pancakes are ideal for serving family and guests all season long. Full of spices you can tweak to your liking, I urge you to grab your grater, your Granny Smiths and your nuts. Yes. I said your nuts. We’ve got gourmet pancakes to make.
