My Favourite Buttermilk Pancakes

When I was growing up, pancakes weren’t a frequent breakfast option in our house, but when we did have them, they always came out of a box (sorry Mom!). I legitimately did not realize you could make pancakes without the box mix until I was like 23 and saw Christine Cushing make them on the […]

Mini Pancake Muffins

Our Gastropost Mission this week forced us to choose between two sweeties: Maple Syrup vs. Honey. I feel as though there’s a time and a place for honey (i.e. on peanut butter toast), but my heart belongs to maple syrup. One of my very first foodie awakenings after university was realizing that there was a […]

Mexican Pancakes

What’s that you say? Cinco de Mayo was last week? I know, I know. I just didn’t really have time and/or energy to plan a feast like last year, so instead I just made myself a few little Mexican-inspired snacks throughout the day as I worked on some spring cleaning projects around the house […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Malted Waffles

May 6, 2012 Baked Sunday Mornings

Malt powder is something that’s only really been on my radar for the last few years, starting with the recipe for Brewer’s Blondies from the first Baked cookbook. I could never find it in the grocery stores around here, so I brought back a container from Florida when I was down there last Fall. I […]
