How to Make Buttermilk Pancakes
I’ve had a surprising number of people tell me they have a really hard time making pancakes at home.
Here’s how I make my buttermilk pancakes, which I whipped up for The Angry Chef just the other day.

Chocolate French Toast
If you find yourself with a stray loaf of chocolate bread in your kitchen, you can get into all sorts of devilishly decadent trouble with it.

Make them on the heaviest [...]

A note on fruit
If you use whole, fresh blueberries, you’ll get a nice white cake studded with gooey berries. [...]
