The Breakfast Bible has a sort of mix-and-match approach to pancakes. It provides three basic pancake recipes -- buttermilk, whole wheat, and gluten free -- and then gives a selection of suggested combinations of mix-ins and a separate section with suggested combinations of toppings. This compound butter was suggested along with apples and maple syrup.
