Due to hectic morning routines, we can't blame any working moms for skipping out on breakfast or scarfing down a protein bar as you scramble out of the door. But on weekends—or those glorious days off without kids—you deserve to enjoy something a little more filling.
Sudi Pigott's new cookbook, Flipping Good Pancakes: Pancakes From Around the World, offers an international twist on an American breakfast staple. You can explore how different countries from around the world serve up their version of the pancake without ever having to leave your home. Here are five of her recipes republished with her permission:
Potato Blinis
A dreamy, wispy-light alternative to proper fermented blinis or more substantial potato pancakes, my potato blini recipe was first created by a chef/consultant friend, Philip Owens. Using fluffy baking potatoes is essential and they need to be baked for a good hour before making the blinis to ensure that they have the mesmerizing lightness.
