I rarely make them but my favorite breakfast item would be homemade sourdough pancakes. You have to have some sourdough starter going to make them. Once cooked you need some warmed pure maple syrup to pour over and between them. I always seem to over do it with the syrup. A side order of sausage links. I would prefer fresh squeezed OJ but there again we rarely make it - instead we use the store bought not from concentrate OJ. YUM!!

I love going all out for breakfast. I make cube hash browns, eggs, toast, bacon, sausage, toast.... Everything. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I also enjoy the simple waffle those are tastey and fast.

ON the topic of sourdough pancakes, if you can remember the Frugal Gourmet (before his trouble), he had a set of great cookbooks. In the one titled, The Frugal Gourmet Cooks American, which you can find in hardback for cheap at a used bookstore, there's a recipe I make for sourdough pancakes. You need to start a couple days in advance, and make a 'sourdough starter' using yeast, flour, and water. The idea is to let it go wild.

Then, when the soughdough starter is going good, and is gooey, you mix it with flour the night before, and get a good batter going. The next morning you make the pancake batter using the soughdough starter.

If you follow Jeff Smith's instructions, and cross your fingers, you can make these incriedable 1 - 1/2 inch thick sourdough pancakes. They are simply amazing.

Making these gems is a lot harder then Bisquick, but worth the work.

That sounds delicious - I may have to give it a try. I remember watching the Frugal Gourmet, years ago!

I am not a fan of Bisquick, actually. Well, sometimes I am. It works well for dumplings. But I don't like it as a pancake mix. They seem dry and tasteless.

I totally agree with you! Bisquick is a dry product - used quite infrequently here.
