Mexican Pancakes with Shredded Coconut
This coconut pancake recipe is a must for any recipe book. The author puts an interesting spin on the classic buttermilk pancake and it can be made with chocolate chips and walnuts too. The author tells us a very funny anecdote about where the name Mexican Pancakes comes from:

He stressed, however that the main excitement was in the flipping of the 10-inch pancake—the messier the better!”
