Irish American Mom's Pancake Roundup

I love pancakes! Thick and fluffy American style pancakes! Or thin and lemony Irish style crepes! Boxty is an Irish favorite and my kids simply love wholewheat pumpkin pancakes.

Yummy! I love them all.

This traditional potato pancake dish, with its origins in the northern counties of Cavan, Donegal, Leitrim and Monaghan, is sometimes called stamp.

Buttermilk Pancakes

Buttermilk pancakes should be light and fluffy, and oozing with buttery flavor and goodness. Delicious served warm, and straight from the pan with melting butter and honey.

My version of this delectable Irish delight comes with a filling of chicken, mushrooms, bacon and white Irish cheddar in a rich cream sauce, wrapped in a tender potato pancake.
