pancakes 101

let me explain something about pancakes: they are incredibly versatile. once you make them in the morning, you don't have too much cooking left to do for the rest of the day.

at the beginning of the day, they are pleasantly warm and sweet under melting butter and sticky syrup.

satisfying afternoon rumblings, their soft bready-ness is savory under crunchy peanut butter and bananas.

in the evenings after dinner, they are a delectable dessert smothered with whipped cream and fruit compote.

(in other news, i have problems with the words "fruit compote"--too close to "compost" for my liking.)
