 COLORADO CORN PANCAKES WITH CHEDDAR ONION SAUCE
Here's another pancake that works both at home and outdoors and as a complement for any meal. Pancakes don't have to be a sweet breakfast food. We're fascinated with savory pancakes. It's a great, quick way to get bread with a meal without heating up the oven. Unusual pancakes make great camping food—solid, stick-to-your-ribs food without a lot of fuss. Use your imagination when making pancakes but we like this combination of corn and cheese in a bread.
