With Pancake Tuesday coming up, a thought crossed our minds. Any restaurant that strives to be the best must never stop experimenting with their menu. Our fans call us the best breakfast in Toronto and we very much want to continue to live up to that expectation. Thus, we thought we\u2019d explore. While some of our experiments seemed outlandish, others seemed like fun – like how to give your pancakes that BOOM factor. We thought we\u2019d share our findings for you to try at home. <\/p>\n

First let\u2019s begin with the simple pancake recipe and build it up from there. <\/p>\n

a)<\/strong> Combine:
\n1 cup flour
\n2 tbsp sugar
\n2 tsp baking powder
\n\u00bd tsp salt
\n1 tsp vanilla extract<\/p>\n

b)<\/strong> In a separate bowl, stir together:
\n1 cup milk
\n2 tbsp melted butter
\n1 egg<\/p>\n

c)<\/strong> Add to dry ingredients to create a basic batter.<\/p>\n

d)<\/strong> Pour batter onto a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat and cook until tops and sides have bubbled.<\/p>\n

e)<\/strong> Flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.<\/p>\n

Now that you\u2019ve got the basics, let\u2019s have some fun.<\/p>\n

Shape up<\/strong>
\nPut your pancake batter into a squeezable container like an old mustard bottle and create fun shapes right onto the pan. Who doesn\u2019t love snowflake shaped pancakes for a winter morning?<\/p>\n

Top them off<\/strong>
\nWe admit this one\u2019s straight off our menu, but it\u2019s just so much fun! Top off your pancakes with powdered sugar, strawberries, bananas and chocolate sauce, just like our Banana Berry Pancakes. <\/p>\n

A Rainbow Stack <\/strong>
\nCreate the basic batter and distribute it into different bowls. Mix in different food colours for each bowl and then cook the pancakes in different colours, creating your very own rainbow stack. We recommend using natural food colours for this one.<\/p>\n

S\u2019more Pancakes<\/strong>
\nAdd chocolate chips to the basic batter and cook away, then top up your pancake with marshmallow creme and crushed graham crackers. <\/p>\n

Blueberry Goodness <\/strong>
\nThis one\u2019s a classic and it never fails to delight. Add blueberries to your batter and cook them up. Top off the pancakes with powdered sugar like we do with our delicious BOOM Berry Pancakes. <\/p>\n

Birthday Pancakes<\/strong>
\nCelebrate birthdays first thing in the morning! Just replace half the flour with vanilla cake mix, cook the pancakes and add frosting and sprinkles. Add a few candles and surprise the birthday darling with the best wake up call ever! <\/p>\n

Bacon Pancakes<\/strong>
\nBacon makes everything better – even pancakes. Cook your bacon first and set it aside. Then take one strip of bacon and add it back into the pan, pouring your pancake batter over it. Cook your pancake like you normally would, taking care to flip with bacon at the bottom when you flip your pancake. When it\u2019s done, that golden brown beauty will blow your mind. <\/p>\n

So, these are our pancake findings. Tell us about yours on our Facebook page. And if you do happen to try these out, don\u2019t forget to send us a pic on Instagram @Boom_Breakfast. Happy Pancaking! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
