Pancakes for All Seasons
Few breakfast foods can compel us to climb out of bed as readily as a stack of warm and fluffy pancakes. And while we all appreciate the simple wonders of a standard 'cake slathered with butter and maple syrup, we're not afraid to switch things up. Part of the pancake's beauty is its versatility — start off with a reliable dry mix and you can easily adapt the batter to include various mix-ins (both sweet and savory) that capture the essence of the season. Classic syrup can be traded for fruit sauces, glazes, spiced whipped cream and more. Here are Food Network Kitchen's month-to-month takes on the beloved breakfast food.
