Sunday mornings growing up were a big deal for my family. It was the only time that the six of us had breakfast together. And, we had to wait to eat that breakfast until after church! We were hungry. Sunday mornings were the only time we had bacon and eggs. And sometimes, if we were really lucky, Mom made these Hermione Sweet Sourdough Pancakes and Waffles too.
There’s a touch of vanilla in this light and fluffy batter. It smooths everything in its path and rounds out all the flavour notes. I threw some frozen wild New Brunswick blueberries in the batter today but bananas and walnuts, cinnamon, peaches and pecans or bacon and apples would all be great.
