Golden Penny Pancakes

tender and savory - these pancakes hit several important notes at the same time. Sharp cheddar cheese is one of the major ingredients in these pancakes, and the shreds of cheese are enrobed in a simple thin pancake batter. True to the name, these cook up a lovely golden color. This pancake would be equally at home at breakfast or dinner. Although the recipe suggests maple syrup or fruit, we found it great eaten 'au naturale' as fast as we could make them. Be sure to cook them long and slow - you want the cheese to melt.
