Skillet Apple Pancake

There is no meal I like to plan more than breakfast. On an average day, I start thinking about our morning dish right after I settle into my sheets. Therefore, Christmas breakfast is like a full-out orgasm of thought for me. As you already know, I don’t turn down an opportunity to make pancakes. However, on Christmas morning, I so don’t want to stand at a griddle flipping the things all morning. I’d rather be testing out Scarlett’s new toys with her. I’m already looking forward to having a full-on dance party once she gets the disco port that lights up to the beat of her music. So I rely on little goodies like this skillet pancake to provide the same breakfast coma without all the effort.

Using pantry staples whizzed up in a blender, you really can’t go wrong with this recipe. You can also freestyle this dish and top it with your favorite fruit. Scarlett is a big fan of Gala apples so it’s how we like to finish our caker. I think I’ll even cook up some of the blueberry maple breakfast sausage I get from Whole Foods. Obviously, we’ll have some great tunes playing while I cook everything up.
