Hate to sound self centered... but my homemade pancakes on a Sunday morning with bananas, strawberries and bacon.

Pancakes with m&ms in them. You get the crunch of the candy with the melty goodness of chocolate. Heaven :)

Oh and any plain pan cakes with fresh fruit and whipped cream. Also delicious. But none of those from a box types.

Our Sunday morning ritual is Hugh making Maple Grove Farms buttermilk pancakes with either real Vermont maple syrup (I know the guy who makes it) or Maine blueberry syrup.

blueberry pancakes sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.

My favorite would have to be my sister's famous chocolate-white chocolate chip pancakes. They may be one of those dessert-for-breakfast dishes, but they are SO SO SO good. Totally amazing. :)

whole wheat pancakes (never from a mix), with a homemade depression-style "honey-butter-water" syrup substitute (for some reason growing up my husband's family never had syrup...so this was born!)

Just plain ole buttermilk pancakes coated in butter and real maple syrup. *sigh*

strawberry and dark chocolate pancakes from the pancake house in ridgewood, nj... tart, bittersweet and amazing!

BLISSCAKES from M. Henry in Chicago: the fluffiest pancakes ever, hugged by and nestled in sweet ricotta and seasonal berries or other fruits, dusted with powdered sugar. The greatest. Ever.

My favorite is pouring a the batter (preferably buttermilk) on the hot griddle and letting one the bottom side cook up nice and golden and letting the top side warm up and cook just enough to cook the egg in the batter, but leaving the top side warm and gooey - then you fold it like a taco and eat it with the warm gooey *just cooked* insides together.

It makes the pancake experience so moist and delectable, with very complex flavors (without having to add extras.) Simple, but yummy.

My mom used to make homemade chocolate chip pancakes EVERY Sunday, and we'd freeze them in baggies in pairs for a quick throw in the microwave during the school week. Technically, each baggie had one cake for me, and one for my brother, but one day he didn't come down for breakfast, and I was left with an extra cake. Would I put syrup on it, and have a little more? Throw it back in the freezer for tomorrow? Well, I had a track meet that afternoon and knew that I could use a little extra energy, so I ditched the syrup, pulled out the vanilla bean ice cream, and made a chocolate chip pancake ice cream sandwich. The warm pancake and melty vanilla was... delicious!!

...and I broke the school record for the 800 meters that afternoon!! THAT is what i call powered by pancakes :OD

A nice warm stack of pumpkin spice pancakes with copious amounts of butter and hot maple syrup. Ohm nom nom nom nom nom.

Dutch babies

I love pancakes which are shaped like teddy bear heads. :-D And you have to use real maple syrup, not that fake corn syrup stuff!

honey ginger whole wheat pancakes (from scratch!) with a stream of Vermont maple syrup. yumtastic!

Gran's South African pancakes with Karo corn syrup. I'm not really sure if the recipe is much different from your standard, home-made cakes, but it's all the technique.

They get cooked 'conventionally' in a medium-heat pan, and finished in a searing hot one for a few seconds. It gives them a nice crust without any charring.

silver dollar pancakes with butter and powdered sugar. They somehow just taste better when they are tiny!

dorie greenspan's multigrain pancakes

Banana pancakes with mango puree topping

Crepes!

Pumpkin Pancakes from J's Pots O' Soul.

I like the McGriddle at McD's. Instead of muffins or biscuits, it's inside pancakes that are injected with maple syrup! I don't eat it a lot or I will die but it is tasty. And shuddup, I can like what I like. I don't say anything about your moldy cheese or fermented tofu whatever.

Scallion pancakes... or on the sweet side chocolate chip pancakes with bacon

Pigs in a blanket for the morning and scallion pancakes for dinner.

I love sausage wrapped in a pancake on a stick. Having all flavors in one bite was pretty much the best idea ever.

The strawberry banana ones at Kerbey Lane in Austin, TX. I caught them serendipitously one time, but they've never been on the menu rotation since! ARGH!

Can I say Johnny cakes since I don't really like pancakes? I'm a true Rhode Islander.

Cornmeal pancakes with Grade B maple syrup.

Any way I can get'em!

My favorite to make at home is a buttermilk recipe a lot like the one in Cook's Illustrated. My favorite diner, though, makes amazing sweet potato pancakes.

I'm a better parent for serving them to my kids.

Baked apple pancake from either Dinah's or the Original Pancake House.

Pumpkin pancakes. yum!

Toast On Market in Louisville, KY serves some seriously addictive pancakes. I can't decide between the gingerbread cakes with a cherry compote or the bread pudding cakes with a rum raisin syrup. Yum!

My mother's pancakes are the BEST! They're super-thin, just slightly thicker than a crepe, and cooked in lots of butter which causes the thin edges to get really crispy. Then she'd serve me three at a time, rolled up, and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Even now, it's my favorite way in the world to eat them.

vegan blueberry banana pancakes made with whole wheat pastry flour, garbanzo flour, almond meal and a bit of cornmeal for crunchy goodness. Drowned in pure maple syrup, of course!

Love the blueberry variety. My good friend Mary eats all the blueberries first.

I love the pancakes my husband makes me - he uses a King Arthur recipe and always makes the plate perfect, with some fruit and just the right amount of syrup. (Double bonus of yummy food and my husband having done the cooking)

Simple, buttermilk pancakes. Made with love.

shopsin's macaroni and cheese pancakes... it sounds terrible but mmmm

Banana pancakes from the Waffle Shop at Penn State :o)

Mickey Mouse! (trademarked, of course)

Sweet potato pancakes with pecan butter.

The best pancake dish in the entire world would be bacon pancakes at the Original House of Pancakes in Atlanta, GA. Tender, fluffy pancake studded with savory, chewy bites of bacon... drizzled in maple syrup to soften the whole thing... mmmmm!!!!

Bittman's whole grain pancakes (involves fluffy egg whites, wwheat, buckwheat, cinnamon, cardomom) with blackberry syrup (frozen blackberries boiled in a cup of real maple syrup) and mounds of creme fraiche! yumtastic.

pancakes made with a combo of cornmeal, whole wheat, and white flour have the best texture and flavor. I also use buttermilk and baking soda for maximum fluffiness.

The pancakes my mom made me, shaped like mickey mouse or a caterpillar, with real butter and maple syrup!
