With a million and one recipes out there, a pancake really has to be something special to make it stand out from the crowd. Friends, today I give you just such a pancake. A whole plate of them. The lightest, fluffiest pancakes any of us here at The Kitchn have ever had the pleasure of either making or eating. Every time I make them, I wonder why I ever bother making anything else.

Is that enough of a hook? I sure hope so because these pancakes deserve to be made far and wide. Here’s how you, too, can have a piping hot plate of lofty buttermilk pancakes for your next breakfast.

How To Pack the Perfect Salad in a Jar

I’ve always aspired to do a lot of canning and preserving, especially in the summer months when cheap produce beckons. A flat of tomatoes that weighs 20 pounds? Sure, why not?

In reality, I end up making a batch of canned tomatoes and maybe some homemade jam only once a year. But once we eat up all our canned goodies, that case of empty canning jars seems to take up an awful lot of space in the kitchen. I’ve been on a quest to find ways to incorporate them into everyday life in the kitchen, and here are some of them!

Blast from the Past

Despite the fact that the US government has decided to remove dietary cholesterol restrictions from its controversial Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the myth of cholesterol-rich foods like egg yolks, shrimp, and liver leading to high serum cholesterol and eventually heart disease is still pervasive. Conventional doctors and dietitians still suggest limiting whole egg consumption to 1 yolk per day.

There has never been any evidence to support the recommendation to limit egg yolks and other cholesterol-rich animal foods, and now a recent review of 40 studies confirms that there is no link between dietary cholesterol and heart disease. The authors conclude that “reviewed studies were heterogeneous and lacked the methodologic rigor to draw any conclusions regarding the effects of dietary cholesterol on cardiovascular disease risk” and call for more research. I’d say their results just further demonstrate the  total lack of connection between cholesterol intake and heart disease risk.

If you’re not convinced yet, check out my eBook on heart disease: The Diet-Heart Myth. In it you’ll learn about the true dietary factors that affect your risk of heart disease (hint: it ain’t egg yolks!) And if you’re ready to go deeper in your education on managing high cholesterol and avoiding heart disease, I recommend my popular program: The High Cholesterol Action Plan.

Research Report

• A new study supports the hypothesis that non-celiac gluten sensitivity is associated with fibromyalgia.
• Prolonged antibiotic treatment induces a diabetogenic intestinal microbiome that accelerates diabetes.
• Researchers have determined that the brain is directly connected to the immune system by vessels previously thought not to exist.
• Exercise goals without a specific plan may be doomed to fail.
• Antibiotic use in animals raised for food is drastically increasing. This poses a risk for antibiotic resistance, which may limit our capacity to treat infectious diseases. 
• Eating vegetables that are rich in sulfur, like broccoli and cabbage, will result in smelly farts but may reduce your risk of cancer.
• “Upset tummy” has a new meaning: research now shows a gut-serotonin link.
• Shortened sleep in combination with acute cognitive stress can have a negative impact on the retrieval of newly learned memories. 
• Both high fructose corn syrup and refined sugar had similar negative impacts in this study.

Worth A Look

One of our favorite places to turn for interiors inspiration is the silver screen. Think about it, with a substantial budget, they get to create kitchens that some of our favorite characters cook in. And of course because the movies are pure fantasy, they are going to be some aspirational kitchens.

Here are a few of our favorites — they span from the bougie Nancy Meyers kitchens to the more eclectic rooms you’ll find in indie films like Amelie. Don’t forget to tell us your favorite on-screen kitchens in the comments.

Q: My mother bought this for me at a kitchen specialty store about fifteen years ago. I didn’t know what it was then, but thanked her and put it away.

I recently found it in our storage stuff and am dying to know what it is.
