This week’s Project Pastry Queen recipe was selected by Katy of Get In The Kitchen: Mother’s Day Pancakes.
In the 5 or 6 years that we’ve been together, my husband has taken over pancake duty. I used to make them all the time but my breakfast priorities have shifted elsewhere. If we’re having pancakes, he’s making them. I even tried to rope him into cooking the pancakes for this week’s Project Pastry Queen. The Foodie Groom’s response: “That’s all you.”
My husband eats his pancakes topped with a fried egg. He likes to puncture the still-runny yolk just before pouring maple syrup over the top. I eat my pancakes layered with sliced bananas and a teaspoon of peanut butter spread over each pancake.
However you choose to eat them, these pancakes are delicious. I could tell even when cooking that they were going to be fluffier than our usual pancakes. They’re light and super fluffy. The Foodie Groom’s verdict: “These are better than mine.”
Head over to the PPQ blogroll to see more fluffy pancakes. Thanks, Katy!
Next week, Project Pastry Queen is baking up Praline Cheesecake. Yum!
