You all know about my love for all things breakfast and brunch, so you had to have an idea that something like this giant stack of Sweet Cherry Buckwheat Pancakes might be on the way. I mean, with all the summer berries and produce?? YES, it just had to happen! Also, you guyyyssss, HAPPY FREAKING FRIDAY! I have to say, I am so ready for the weekend. It’s been a long, busy, tiring… but awesome week! Three pretty big photos shoots took place that all went really well. I am excited to share each with you guys…one you will find all about next week. HINT: it’s all about summer entertaining! The rest are going to be a bit of a longer wait, but promise when I do finally get to share them with you, it’ll be so fun, and worth the wait. So basically I’m just building up the anticipation here. Muahahaha!! ?
Anyway, the point is, I’m pretty happy it’s Friday. I have zero plans, other than cooking, which I am excited to dive into. OH, and I am determined to get in a snapchat recipe either today or tomorrow so stay tuned (username: hbharvest). OH OH! And obviously I’m making batch after batch of these pancakes, because clearly they’re what summer breakfasts are all about.
Here’s the deal. I’m a freak for cherries, so creating a cherry pancake was a must for me. For some reason the sound of cherries, bourbon and bacon really sounded super appealing to me so I just went for it. Ummmm, yes, it’s an amazing combo and one that I am SOO glad I tried. The pancakes are actually buckwheat pancakes, which I think goes really nicely with the sweet cherries and savory bacon. Not sure why, but it just really, REALLY works. That said, if you’re not a fan of buckwheat, or simply don’t have buckwheat flour on hand, you can sub in whole wheat flour or just more all-purpose flour. Either way…as long as you have cherries, bacon, and maple…these pancakes are going to be EPIC. OK, and I guess if you don’t eat bacon it can definitely be omitted, but I do have to say, the bacon adds something a little special to this stack. And that’s coming from a girl who’s really not all that into bacon. I know, I know, what?!? I only like it for certain things, and one of those things is most definitely these pancakes. The saltiness in the bacon pairs so flipping well with the sweet cherries and bourbon syrup. It is UNREAL.
And then just like that, my weekend plans are set in stone. Cooking, chilling out, probably folding some laundry, catching up on my overloaded inbox, and eating ALL the sweet cherry pancakes with bourbon syrup and bacon I can handle. Yes, please. 🙂
Best pancake stack of summer… for real. PS. Happy, happy Friday!
