Where to find the best pancakes in Canada
Feb 11, 2013
Multigrain flour, rolled oats and wheat germ give these quite chewy pancakes a wholesome flavour. Multigrain flour is a combination of all-purpose and whole wheat flours, cracked wheat and rye and whole flaxseeds. For a less chewy version, substitute whole wheat flour for the multigrain.
Pancakes doused in maple syrup are a Canadian staple for breakfast, but they're much more versatile than that! Enjoy them sweet or savoury, and for any meal of the day with some of our all-time favourite pancake recipes.
These pretty silver dollar–size pancakes crowned with smoked salmon are a party favourite. For a richer topping, substitute crème fraîche for the light sour cream. If you like, add a grind of coarse black pepper right before serving.
This makes a thick, fluffy batter. You can find xanthan gum in health food stores or the health-food aisle of some supermarkets. Serve these versatile pancakes with maple syrup and bacon. Or omit the cinnamon and serve with sour cream, chopped chives and smoked salmon. Use two skillets to speed up cooking time.?
For the best texture, make sure not to overstir the pancake batter; it should be a bit lumpy before you fold in the cheese and green onions. Store-bought pickled beets make a super-quick and tasty garnish.
