Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup Pancakes with Whipped Cream and Blackberries

Sundays call for pancakes…Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup Pancakes with Whipped Cream and Blackberries to be exact!

Goodness, when was the last time CCB shared a pancake recipe? Too long! Way too long! Want to know when? Okay – I’ll tell you. January 21, 2014. You read that right, 2-0-1-4!!! Are you kidding me?!

I’m in shock! Especially since it’s a pretty popular food in these parts…these parts being our home.

Dom is a wizard when it comes to pancakes. When the kids were younger, pancakes were a staple on the weekends. So I guess we operate under a formula ——–> kids in the house = pancakes on Sunday.

Let’s say we change the formula…. pancakes aren’t just for breakfast anymore. And not just for Sundays, either.

Looking for a new idea for ‘Meatless Monday’? Here you go!

The idea for these pancakes began during a recent trip to Lake Placid.

Last Sunday we took to the village. Cold and a little bit rainy with skies the color of slate, we popped into a few of our favorite shops. Luc made it pretty clear that she didn’t want to leave without a stop at Saratoga Olive Oil Company where tastings could ensue. That was an invitation we couldn’t resist! So in we went after checking out the 80% off sales at Bass.

Have you guys been to the Saratoga Olive Oil Company?

Slews of flavored olive oils and vinegars, salts, and as of late – maple syrup. Gosh, we tasted everything from Cayenne to Blood Orange combined with Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar, Granita olive oil to Black Truffle.

We ended our experience with a (not so little) sip of Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup.

Oh my gahhhh. Tiny fireworks went off in my brain and I knew that once we were back home, the griddle would have its day in the sun.

I played a little with this recipe. Not only did I want the Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup on the pancakes, I wanted it in them, too. And what are pancakes without homemade whipped cream?

These pancakes take the cake. They’re thick and fluffy with just a hint of bourbon flavor.

This is some happy eats, my friends!

Buon Appetito!
