Sundays used to be a true family day in my day. Making pancakes at home in the mornings meant infusing the kitchen with the delightful aroma. I will share with you a little secret, though: I found Sheet Pan Pancakes, which changed the game when it came to feeding a large group of people without having to be glued to the cooktop. This charming modern take on a classic comes directly from the Midwest and is a useful example of using our time and resources. When you can bake a complete batch of pancakes to golden perfection, there's no need to stand and flip each one. The whole point of family dinners is to gather around the table, and sheet pan pancakes allow you to do exactly that whether you're hosting a reunion or simply want to whip up a quick breakfast.
Serve these Sheet Pan Pancakes with dollops of apple butter or a thick drizzle of maple syrup that you've tapped from your own backyard trees to complete this robust meal. For those who want a breakfast dish that strikes a balance between sweetness and saltiness, some crispy bacon or flavorful sausage links may be served with the fluffy squares. To provide a creamy contrast or a burst of freshness to the pancakes, try serving them with grits or freshly sliced fruit.
