Sticky Toffee Pancakes with Blackberries

March 5, 2021 No Comments

These Sticky Toffee Pancakes are an anomaly. And no, it’s not because they’re pancakes of the sticky toffee variety. I’ve seen other (potentially better) versions of this breed of pancake elsewhere. No, what makes these pancakes strange is the fact that I made them. Oh sure, I’ve made pancakes before but this is a once-in-a-blue-moon occurrence. I’m much more of a savory brunch human, I’m pretty much a savory person no matter the mealtime. But for some reason when my brain landed on the concept of Sticky Toffee Pancakes I decided I had to make them mine. So I did and now you’re looking at them.

When I was growing up, fish sticks were among my favorite things in the world. Right up there with KD and Corn Pops. But it’s been a long time since I indulged. Somewhere in my early teens, I lost interest in those golden sticks. I’m sure my long-suffering mother was delighted to see me move on – her freezer-burned nightmare was over. But I still think about those dinners fondly from time to time. I’m convinced they would not thrill me in the same way. But still, the format is compelling – chicken nuggets but make it fish. So my mission was clear, I had to make Grown-Up Fish Sticks and that’s exactly what I did.

It’s been a while since I posted a brunch recipe. Figured I should fix that. To be honest, in this era of flexible routines and ambiguous WFH schedules, breakfast foods have fallen to the wayside. What has replaced them is low and slow, simmer-all-day affairs, and generally, I’m not mad about it. But I do love breakfast foods and this past week I felt a void that could only be filled by a plate of fried eggs. It was my over-active brain that chose to complicate things. It turned that simple craving for eggs into this show-stopping, cheese-heavy brunch – the Croque Madame Dutch Baby.

This is my attempt to give noodles “fall vibes”. These Cumin Pork Noodles with Apple Cucumber Relish have both pork and apples, so in my admittedly strange brain that makes them Oktoberfest-appropriate, which makes them fall appropriate. Phew! It was a long walk to get here, but have I convinced you that these are the fall-friendliest rice noodles to ever grace a table? I doubt it. To be honest, I haven’t convinced myself. But I can tell you regardless of how seasonally-appropriate these noodles may or may not be, they are freakin’ delicious so don’t sleep on them.
