There are certain foods I crave when I am feeling stressed - chocolate (always) and breakfast. This pancake recipe makes such a thick batter you almost can't call them pancakes, but then you do and justify eating them for breakfast.
By the way, I blame my pancake craving entirely on this entry in the Cream Puffs in Venice blog. She is someone whose blog I never miss, and while I have yet to try her ricotta pancakes recipe, I couldn't not make pancakes after seeing this entry.
When you click on the link to the recipe, you will note that it is a Rachel Ray recipe. So sue me. Some of her recipes are pretty good.
If you are still developing your baking abilities, there is little you can do to mess up on pancakes. All the ingredients are stirred together in a bowl. As long as your griddle is hot enough and you don't turn them too soon, you should have delicious pancakes in no time!
I like how some of the moisture in this recipe is provided by bananas. It helps me ignore the sour cream and melted butter and deem it healthy, because it has fruit in it! It would have more if I hadn't substituted chocolate chips for the raisins....
I have mentioned before that my day job is being a librarian - here is a food research tool for you! A few people have taken advantage of the Google custom search and created a food blog search. It is a great way to look for recipes. I've added it to the side bar of my blog so you can use it any time.

I love the food blog search. Thanks for the heads up.
My new favorite cooking blog (besides yours, of course) is Smitten Kitchen.
I love Rachael Ray. In fact, I was just looking through one of her magazines for some dinner ideas for the week! These pancakes sound great!
I love any kind of pancakes you can throw at me. I have made Rachel's recipes before and they are just fine with me.
They should be good with all that fat and calories. LOL. I found a lighter version on ERR.
