Honey Date Pancakes Recipe
If you're going to make something sweet for brunch, make something sweet, but don't cop out by tossing a handful of chocolate chips in batter and calling it impressive. Instead, go exotic. Honey and dates have been a classic pairing for ...oh, about 8,000 years, so it only makes sense to add them as a tribute to Food Republic's impressive roster of "modern" pancakes that includes all-stars like Red Velvet and Coconut Macaroon and other varieties we're sure would have caught on with the Mesopotamians.
