It was love at first sight when I came across framboise's photo of a mountain of homemade pancakes in the Pancakes and Waffles group on Flickr. If you have a void of loneliness in your soul, fill it with pancakes and you should perk right up. You can also eat them if you're, you know, hungry.... More
On our way to Cape Cod for a little family R & R, we stopped for a bite (actually, more than a bite) at 3:15 p.m. at Nick's Diner, a hipster diner in what appears to be Providence, Rhode Island's newly fashionable West Side. My son, Will, ordered the turkey sandwich, my wife, Vicky, ordered the pulled pork and cheddar, and, in the name of responsible food research, I ordered the zucchini and potato soup, the steak sandwich, and a short stack of buttermilk hotcakes with rhubarb compote and whipped cream on the side. My wife grimaced as I ordered the pancakes. "How could you do that?," she asked.... More
I consider it a good morning if my pancakes resemble pancakes. Members of the Pancake Art group on Flickr take their pancakes to a whole other level, crafted into the shapes of bunnies, ducks, and mice.... More
From Sunday's NYT Magazine, Amanda Hesser digs David Eyre's oven-baked pancake recipe out from the 1960s: What keeps cooks faithful to one recipe is often some confluence of ease and surprise. David Eyre’s pancake possesses both. A batter of flour, milk, eggs and nutmeg is blended together, then poured into a hot skillet filled with butter and baked. Anyone confused? I didn’t think so.The surprise comes, appropriately, at the end, when you open the oven door to find a poofy, toasted, utterly delectable-looking pancake. This soon collapses as you shower it with confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice, slice it up and devour it. It’s sweet and tart, not quite a pancake and not quite a crepe. But lovable all... More

Mrs Marv is so hardcore that she made sausage, biscuits and gravy for her mom—all of it completely from scratch. Yes, even the sausage! I think you'll agree with me when I say that I think she is a breakfast rock star. [via Tastespotting]... More
I think these breakfast food pillows are adorable (if a little pricey) but I don't know if I can wholeheartedly support a brand with a tagline as heretical as "more fun than the real thing". I'm sorry, but no matter how cute the pillow, the equation will always be fake fried egg < real fried egg. It's what you can actually get in your belly that counts! [via roboppy del.icio.us]... More
Homesick Texan: "I’d never had gingerbread pancakes until I moved to Austin and after one bite, I no longer had a desire for any other flavor. Take all the spicy goodness of a gingerbread cookie and make it rich, cake-like and fluffy, and there you have the joy that is a gingerbread pancake." Lovely writing, and the pancakes really do look delicious!... More
"Join IHOP to celebrate National Pancake Day (also known as Mardi Gras, or Shrove Tuesday) on Tuesday, February 20, 2007. From 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., we’ll give you one free short stack (three) of our famous buttermilk pancakes.

Buttermilk Pancakes from Marion Cunningham's The Breakfast Book, as adapted by Shuna Fish Lydon. If you've never made pancakes from scratch before, this is the time to learn—this recipe is simple and Shuna's tutorial is both easy to follow and informative: "I like to heat up my oven and keep a plate inside so that I can place the ready pancakes in there to wait, thereby being able to sit down with the person I'm eating pancakes with."...
