Make Pancakes more Fun

By Joanna B. L. Lowes

Are pancakes boring? They are boring in the sense that you probably don't have the time of your life when you eat them, but that probably goes for anything you eat. They are also pretty plain.

Most of the time when you have pancakes, you get plain, basic pancakes. You butter them and then you drizzle them with syrup. They are good, but they are nothing exciting.

If you're looking for more fun pancakes that have a variety of flavors, you have basically two choices to make them a little more special. You can either jazz them up through the batter or over-top of the finished product.

Do you want pancakes that are far from basic? Try looking for a different recipe for the batter. You could make crepes instead or you could try out a sour cream, potato, or chocolate pancake recipe for even more variety.

If you aren't interested in looking for a whole new recipe, try jazzing up basic pancake batter. You can be creative and throw in just about anything want. Try adding chocolate chips, m & ms, nuts, blueberries, or other chopped up fruit.

If you don't feel like messing with the batter, take anything that you might put in the batter and sprinkle it over-top. For example, instead of putting sliced strawberries in the batter, spread them over the finished product.

You can put any variety of stuff on top. You can turn them into a chocolaty sweet surprise, or you can be a little healthier by filling them with fruit and topping them with different kinds of fruit.

Once you've set up your masterpiece of pancake artwork, finish it off with some whipped cream and enjoy your feast. Create your work for guests and get people hooked on your pancakes.
