In the pantheon of iconic breakfast dishes, pancakes are near the top. When cooked correctly, they’re light and fluffy, perfectly complemented by a pat of butter and a drizzle of maple syrup. And with just a handful of pantry staple ingredients — flour, eggs, milk and butter — they’re so inexpensive to make that buying pancake mix is a waste of money.
While your basic pancakes are well and good, they’re also a wonderful blank canvas for both sweet and savory additions. Beyond more classic ingredients like chocolate chips and blueberries, there’s another breakfast item that makes for the perfect mashup: breakfast cereal pancakes.
