Pancakes are the MVP of Breakfast, with Carla Lalli

This week, we’re waking up early and starting the day the right way: with a big batch of pancakes.   Jessica and David kick off the show by sharing a bit about the history of pancakes — which goes back much longer than you may realize. Then, things take a wild turn when David reveals a truly shocking revelation about his pancake consumption habits. Next, David sits down with cookbook author Carla Lalli to hear her opinions on pancakes, as well as the role they play in helping us get back in touch with eating like kids. David and Jessica then jump into answering your questions about making pancakes, including tips on getting a fluffier short stack, before closing the show with a Jess-opinion and the recipes they’re making this week.   Recipes and other links from this episode:  Find all of our pancake mixes, including David’s preferred gluten-free mix   Learn more about Carla’s new book Food is a Feeling   And read her Substack, Food Processing   Read our blog: How to make fluffy pancakes   What David’s baking this week: Ultimate Flaky Biscuits   What Jessica’s baking this week: Popovers   Record your question for our Ask the Bakers segment here!  Follow along with us on Substack   For 25% off any On-Demand baking class, use coupon code POD25 at shop.kingarthurbaking.com/on-demand-classes  This episode is sponsored by Cabot Creamery.
