Notes

Homemade Pancake Recipe

Homemade Pancakes. I made this pancake platter using my copycat McDonald's pancake recipe. It's so easy, and you get such fluffy pancakes that are perfect for this board. You can make them into whatever size you want. I made them into the size of silver dollar pancakes, but you can make them into mini pancakes, too! I don't recommend making them much larger than silver dollar-sized, just so you can make the board easier.

Best pancake toppings

This depends on your personal preferences! Here's a list of toppings that you can include on the breakfast charcuterie board.
  • Peanut Butter
  • Breakfast Meats like breakfast sausage or crispy bacon
  • Melted Butter
  • Marshmallow Fluff
  • Jams or Jellies
  • Variety of Fruits like berries, bananas or apples
  • Maple Syrup (if you want to get real fancy, you can attempt to make homemade syrup!

Tips for building a pancake board

Small Bowls. You will want small bowls for various toppings like berries, jams, honey, peanut butter, or marshmallow fluff. You'll also want to make sure you have small serving spoons for these as well! 
Pancake Griddle. This may be a kitchen accessory that you only use every so often, but I highly recommend purchasing a pancake griddle! You can get cheap ones from Amazon, and you can make so many more pancakes at once rather than if you just make homemade pancakes in a frying pan. 
Prep the Cold Items First. Prep your fruit, peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, any other items that can be served cold or at room temperature, first. Next, prep any of the hot items, like bacon, sausage, and, of course, your pancakes. You want to make sure you are serving this and keeping the hot foods hot for as long as possible.
Premake the Pancakes. If you want to do any preparation ahead of time, you can absolutely premake the pancakes, store them in an airtight container in the fridge, and then reheat them when it comes time to make this pancake charcuterie board.
