buttermilk pancakes, stewed peaches and maple syrup...5


Originally when I had this, it was served with apples. Somewhere I have a picture. So good and fluffy.

These pancakes are ginormous. You get 3 huge pancakes for $5. I recommend doing the Pick 2 for $10 and get any 2 items.





My second recommendation are the seared scallops with smoked ham, potato and hollandaise...8.50.




Get the hollandaise sauce on the side or omitted completely. Does nothing but make it all soggy.







That along with the awesome coffee served from MadCap Coffee...2, makes one awesome breakfast.

Today's special:
sweet potato waffle with sweet potato cream cheese whip, hazelnuts, and maple syrup.















If you are into a carb fest, I also highly recommend:

baked french toast with spice poached raisins and butter pecan syrup...6

I got the Red G Pancake Combo with 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 bacon $5.99

Yes, these really are as ginormous as they look in the picture. I'm assuming it was a standard 10" plate. Double stack of Ginormous Fluffiness...sounds like a better title to me.

Guest Blogger, Mom, got Fresh Buttermilk Pancakes with strawberries double stack $3.49 + $.79 for the strawberry topping. Oh, and we had to ask for the whipped topping but well worth it.

The pancakes are nice and fluffy but they should use more butter on the grill and crisp them up on the edges. However, this is definitely a great joint for breakfast or anytime. We had pancakes for lunch!

Scented Pancake Ring on Etsy

Scented Pancake Ring on Etsy by tinyhands here (sorry it's sold but you could probably get a custom order).

Who said pancakes were only for breakfast? Now you can have them for lunch and dinner and… heck, anytime and anywhere! These pancakes, served generously with maple syrup (see it oozing down the sides of the pancake stack!) are made from polymer clay by myself. The pancakes are scented to smell absolutely deliciously with maple buttercream – a high recommendation! It’ll leave you sniffing for more!

Additional attention is given in acquiring the right colors for the lightly burnt pancakes and the rich golden color of maple syrup. The butter was not forgotten in the process of making these accessories – its color is a close imitation of real butter!

The pancake stack is securely attached to an adjustable ring, so you don’t have to worry about ring sizes!

The pancake stack is a little under 1/2 an inch high and are just below 3/4 of an inch in diameter.

These are available though...

Scented Maple Syrup and Butter on Waffles Earrings here. $38

You’ll never find a pair of waffle earrings like these anywhere else but at Tiny Hands! These scented waffle earrings with mouth-watering maple, golden maple syrup and a slab of butter are handmade from polymer clay. These earrings are scented to smell like maple syrup, a sinfully sweet and rich scent that I always recommend to people.

The slight browned tint on the waffles really add to the waffle details and the I made sure that the maple syrup looked good enough to make you want to lick it.

The waffle charms are about 3/5 of an inch in diameter.

Almond Joy's Got Nuts...Mounds Don't

I was so inspired by the Almond Joy pancakes, I thought I'd try my own of mini chocolate chips and shredded coconut. I didn't have almonds on hand so I thought I'd make mine a Mounds version.

1/3 cup of pancake mix
1/4 water
2 Tbs mini chocolate chips
2 Tbs shredded coconut

One giant pancake. Tastes great!

Milkmade Ice Cream

What, you ask, does this have to do with pancakes? Well, let me tell you. While watching the Cooking Channel tonight, the Foodography show on ice cream profiled a company called Milkmade Ice Cream.

Homemade. Hand delivered. Ice Cream.

They have a maple ice cream with chunks of pancake in it!

The Full Stack
sweet grade a dark maple ice cream with bits of homemade spiced-walnut pancakes

About this time of year all I can think about is snowboarding. With every good boarding trip comes is the obligatory stop at a diner, where I get a full stack of pancakes with plenty of real maple syrup. Here we have the second in our Ice Cream for Breakfast line, The Full Stack. It’s maple ice cream, with chunks of homemade spiced-walnut pancakes.

I say this is a "must try"!

Chocolate chips, shaved coconut and slivered almonds. And OMG...it tastes like a candy bar baked in the pancake. If you like sweet, get a short stack, which is 2 pancakes as big as the plate. If you can only handle so much sweet, get 1 and share it. It is definitely a must try pancake!
