Mancakes

Byadmin

This mancakes recipe proves that while sweet and savory hybrids can be tricky, sometimes they work beautifully. After all, we are talking about bacon, cheese, and onions, so it wasn’t that big of a shock. The way the chipotle-spiced maple syrup brings everything together was a risk well rewarded.
