My husband insists on the "real" maple syrup too. I didn't know about the Eric Carle book--sounds like a fun book for the pancake obsessed children in the family (they insist on chocolate chip pancakes they eat with their hands). As for favorite recipes, the NYT Perfect Buttermilk Pancakes recipe is my go-to. The recipe produces light and fluffy pancakes that are enhanced with a generous sprinkle of blueberries.
Pancakes are a great winter breakfast. My mom always made animal pancakes for myself and brother. She did cats, dogs, elephants (if you squinted hard not to see a rhino), and cows. And yes, real maple syrup my uncle made. My favorite as an adult is fresh lemon ricotta pancakes. Thanks for bringing up this delightful winter breakfast.
Now you got me thinking! I was married 18 years before I gave into my husband's wish for pancakes for dinner--his mom made them for dinner. Well, I'm hooked now, especially for Friday) Saturdays with real maple syrup. I recently found a mix for Klondike pancakes --meater and sends you off to bed with a nice wooly feeling!
Another terrific story, Vicki! It evokes so many memories, including of those blintzes (thanks so much for the mention!), and of making pancakes with Mickey Mouse ears and raisin eyes for my son Sam when he was a boy. I used to read him Eric Carle’s classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, but never Pancakes, Pancakes! I also never tried almond flour banana pancakes. They’re next on my list! 🍌🥞💕

Looks like a great gluten-free pancake recipe. I’m going to try it.
