Yeah. Pancakes can be pretty boring. I don't think I'd care for
coffee in them. We just had blueberry pancakes for dinner with no
syrup. Just butter. Someone here mentioned zucchini pancakes so I
tried those using a 50/50 mix of regular flour and masa. When I flip
them I top with shredded cheddar and serve with sour cream. They're
delicious and savory. Pancakes with syrup is just too sweet for me to
have often.
