Suggested toppings: aside from the usual maple syrup add some cheddar cheese and fresh blueberries for an extra treat. Rich introduced me to the cheddar cheese. A waitress at Heidi’s in South Lake Tahoe once added cheddar cheese to his pancakes when he was a boy. A great culinary accident turned into a lifetime of taste-bud pleasure.
