Anyone remember when the only way to get a new recipe was to visit your grandmas house, call your mom on your landline telephone or look through the cookbooks on your shelf? ☎📕 I'm totally dating myself, but the point is - we have more access to recipes than ever before.  It's hard to even imagine a recipe that I can't find on the internet.  

This year I was tasked with creating a brand new set of recipes and I gained a whole new appreciation for people who used to have to come up with their own recipes for everything.  Can you imagine being the first person who ever came up with a recipe for pancakes?  

My first task was to develop a nut flour pancake recipe. 🥞 Since this was my first go around with recipe creation, I went about it in a very methodical way.  Batch by batch - I altered one ingredient at a time until I narrowed it down to 6 workable recipes.   (That process took me a little over a week. 😅) ​

I can't think of a better way to spend a couple of weeks than making and tasting pancakes. 😋 Thank goodness it's January and I'm not going to have to put on a bathing suit anytime soon. 😅 I ate a lot of pancakes but honestly, I never got tired of sampling pancakes.  At some point though - I had to gather more opinions from fellow pancake lovers.  So, I hosted a pancake party.  

This was my first experience with a recipe testing event and I made a rookie mistake.  I invited 6 other people to taste test 3 different pancakes.  You see where this is going, right?  2 people chose pancake 1, 2 chose pancake 2 and 2 people liked pancake 3.  🤦🏻‍♀️

​Looking for a tie breaker, I asked my family for their pancake opinion.  And because it's rare that I ask for their input on the food that I serve them, they were VERY enthusiastic about sharing their input on my test pancakes.😂 #becarefulwhatyouaskfor
​
Even if you don't aspire to create your own unique pancake recipe - I highly recommend creating a pancake tasting party for yourself.  My family and friends fully embraced their roles as pancake taste testers.  😅 Use this recipe for Lemon Buttermilk pancakes and tweak it.  Add blueberries to one batch, substitute orange for lemon in another and try making one batch with cinnamon.  You might be surprised at the pancake that your taste testers choose.
