this weekend, we were expecting epic amounts of rainfall from what was touted as the "storm of the year." in preparation for staying in for hours on end, i meal planned accordingly, paying special attention to sunday's breakfast. nick & i love eggs of all kinds: poached, scrambled with loads of veggies, fried in bacon grease (okay, i know that one sounds awful, but we only indulge once in a while, and we're sure to drain the excess dripping fat prior to consuming.), but i wanted to make something relatively egg free, new to us & delicious. enter: sour cream pancakes & sour cream maple sauce. you can find the recipe here. they couldn't have been easier to whip up. light & fluffy due to the sour cream, and with only 1 Tbsp. sugar in the entire batch, not at all sweet. i added approximately 1 tsp. of almond extract to the batter for an extra special kick. also pictured: homemade brown sugar & loads of cracked pepper bacon. easy, too! sprinkle with both just prior to placing in the oven. voila!
i'm proclaming this the "greatest breakfast of all time."
