Today on the blog - breakfast level: RIDICULOUS. That's right, we just went all caps on this one. If that doesn't tell you this dish is serious business, I don't know what will.
And by serious business, I mean seriously delicious... business.
We're talking light, fluffy pancakes... Rich espresso and brandy infused mascapone... A little (or a lot. I won't judge.) dark chocolate syrup.
THIS is the stuff brunch dreams are made of.
No lines, no waiting, no dealing with gigantic brunch crowds... Just you in the comfort of your own home with this drool-worthy dish all to yourself. It's ok, it can be our little secret.
Just as I may or may not have eaten all 12 of these by myself in one gloriously giant stack... We'll never know 'cause I'm certainly not telling.

What a wonderful idea! (And I could totally use the topping over my own gluten free pancake recipe, now, couldn't I?) The family loves tiramisu, and I can see several uses for that.

Seriously? Your photos never cease to impress girl! If these pancakes taste anywhere near as good as they look, I might need to rethink my diet to include stacks like this everyday!
