PB & J Pancake "Sandwich"
Technically, a sandwich is a bready dough filled with something. Hoagies, gyros, calzones, quesadillas … they all fall into the “sandwich” category. You can stuff them with veggies or meats or cheeses or herbs or condiments or whatever your tongue desires. Sandwiches are, in short, the ultimate custom dish.
In the spirit of adding to the roster, I’d like to introduce my new pancake sandwich concept — not only is it a great way to elevate a mundane filling to triple-decker status, it’s a great way to use up leftover pancakes. In this case, I warmed up three silver-dollar-sized pancakes I’d enjoyed for breakfast the previous morning (I made them with cornmeal and quinoa, but any type of flour makes great pancakes to use with savory fillings), then liberally doused them with apricot jam and crunchy 100% PB. The result? One heck of a tasty sandwich!
The next time you have leftover pancakes and some random sandwich fillings, I heartily suggest you try coming up with your own triple-decker. Or quadruple-decker, or even quintuple decker. Maybe pancake sandwiches could become the next dinner party sensation: just whip up a few batches of ‘cakes, lay out some assorted sandwich insides, and step back to see what your guests come up with. You could even make pancake ice cream sandwiches for dessert!
