The wild winds of Tropical Storm Fay are whipping around the magic cottage today.

So we’re making my favorite breakfast food, pancakes, with crispy edges:

Recipe: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp salt. Stir. Crack one egg in middle, add 1 cup buttermilk. Stir. Drop 1/8th cup circles in pan with 1/2 in vegetable oil over med-high. Cook until bubbles begin to pop; flip. Cook 45 seconds more. Take out of pan; repeat. Serve with (a dash of truth and) honey/syrup + butter or crème fraîche + salmon eggs. Or eat straight out of the pan.

What do you put on your pancakes? (At breakfast, lunch, or dinner…)

   Pleased to see you’re weathering the storm in style. I’m not much of a pancake eater, but I think my favorite pairing is a sweet but also spicy sausage.

   Thanks, Ben. Good call on the sausage to balance the pancakes. It makes me nostalgic for brunch at Mas…
