I first encountered these quirky little cakes on the eclectic (and ridiculously extensive) menu at Shopsin�s in the Essex Street Market on Mahattan�s Lower East Side. I thought they were a little off-beat but I liked the idea.
Even so, I had no desire to make them at home.
That is until I came across them in a magazine. I was baffled to see them again: Macaroni and Cheese Pancakes.
So I went for it. Why not? I�m a fan of sweet and savory. I�m a big fan of pasta. And cheese. And pancakes.
I know it seems strange. But you must try these pancakes at least once. They are different and just plain tasty. And they are fun. We got a big kick out of preparing, eating and talking about them.
I�m making a promise right now: No more furrowed, worried brow.
Life is too short.
Too short not to try Macaroni and Cheese Pancakes. They don�t make sense. They just taste good.
Enjoy!
