I have expressed my love of pancakes many times on this site.  It runs deep like a first born.  I never want to be without them, and they feel the same about me.  So when a book (more like a Christmas present) comes along that nourishes my love of pancakes and all that they stand for in the most delicious of ways, I must celebrate it to the depths of my core.  That present is Stack Happy by Karly Campbell.

Karly’s blog Buns In My Oven has always supplied me with fantastic goodies to gawk at so I wasn’t surprised when I opened Stack Happy to find the most unique and indulgent pancake options on the planet lurking behind the gorgeous cover.   The photos are captivating, the style is inviting and friendly, and the recipes… speak for themselves.  My only issue was trying to figure out what to make first! Luckily I stumbled on these french toast pancakes, which are absolutely brilliant.

What Are French Toast Pancakes?

The name French Toast Pancakes totally intrigued me.  I couldn’t wrap my mind around it.  How do you merge the two?  Well Karly definitely figured out how.  The recipe starts with a simple pancake batter that is perfect on its own.  I seriously could have had a stack of the pancakes and been as happy as ever.

However, that’s not the end.  The pancakes are then dipped in a traditional french toast coating and fried up to perfection.  It takes these pancakes to another level seriously.

How To Make French Toast Pancakes Recipe

The two breakfast classics merge seamlessly into one perfect dish.  I immediately slathered these in syrup and added some berries for color and sunk my fork in.  I didn’t eat another thing the rest of the day.

You begin by making a simple buttermilk pancake batter.  This batter has quite the fluff because it adds two leavenings so these will puff up immediately on your griddle.

Tip: Make sure you don’t over mix your pancake batter. 

You don’t need batter to be completely smooth.  It should be slightly lumpy because you will stop as soon as ingredients combine.

I personally like to fry my pancakes in butter on a non stick griddle.  The butter fries them golden brown and creates crisp edges.  It adds a different texture to the outside while the inside is super light and fluffy.

Tip 2: Don’t over soak your pancakes in the french toast custard

Just soak the pancake in the custard and then let it sit.  I fry this back in butter and it is glorious!!!!

Because I love these pancakes so much, and I want to share my love of pancakes with everyone, I am giving away a copy of Karly’s fantastic book that will make all your flapjack dreams come true.  In essence, it will make you quite Stack Happy!  Enter below!  In fact, go over to Amazon and buy a copy for a friend or family member now.  The love should be spread.
