Cracker Barrel pancakes are my absolute favorite pancakes. Crispy at the edges and fluffy on the inside, I just can’t think of a more delicious breakfast. But since we’ve moved to Hawaii, Cracker Barrel has been added to the list of restaurants that I can only dream about; at least until we make a trip back to the mainland. Missing favorite restaurants and regional foods is sometimes just a part of this army lifestyle, and can be one of the more difficult things to get used to. But that’s nothing a little Pinterest search can’t fix!A plate with pancakes that look like Santa with fruit and whipped creamI found a copy cat recipe for Cracker Barrel pancakes on Pinterest and decided to give it a go. Since I also wanted to keep things festive for Christmas time, I added a little “Santa twist” with some fruit and whipped cream. My three year old was so excited and LOVED them!

They are very easy to put together. The real key to getting the crispy edges is using vegetable oil to grease your griddle or pan. You can also use butter, but if you’re looking for the signature crispy edges, spring for the vegetable oil just this once!ingredients for pancakes on a counterStart by mixing all of the dry ingredients into a large bowl, and then stir in the buttermilk. In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg well to get it airy and bubbly. Add to mixture and stir until just incorporated.pancake batter in a bowlHeat your skillet to medium-low heat, or your griddle to 375 degrees.

Squirt a liberal amount of whipped cream on top for hat, beard, and mustache. Enjoy your little masterpiece for a moment, and then DIG IN!

This would make a fun breakfast for Christmas morning, or any day of the holiday season. Since I’ve made them, my little guy now constantly asks when we can have them again!

I hope you enjoy making them in your home, too!

  • 1 egg

  • Mix together all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
