The Easy Oven-Baked Pancake That's Perfect for Busy Weekends (It's So Fluffy!)

Plus, four more recipes for the spring season.

5 Delicious Recipes You Can Make This Spring Hi y'all! Kristina here, stepping in for Lindsay this Sunday. The wait is over — our newest digital issue, Spring Gatherings, has officially arrived! It's gorgeous and I can't wait for everyone to cook through it. To celebrate, I've pulled together a few of my faves to share with all of you. First up, Patty's Oven-Baked Berry Pancake is a simple recipe I keep coming back to. I'm not a fan of flipping pancakes (because there are always a few duds), but this recipe solves that by making a quick batter, pouring it into a hot skillet, and baking it in the oven. It's foolproof (so fluffy!), and it goes great with sticky-sweet strips of Millionaire's Bacon. When I'm having guests over for brunch, I like to make a batch of Smoked Salmon Egg Boats. It's an easy, yet fancy-ish way to serve a crowd. Everyone raves over the flavorful combo of creamy eggs, smoked salmon, and briny capers. Wash it down with a glass (or two) of our bubbly and refreshing Amalfi Cocktail. Then to cap off the meal, I dish out slices of Janette's Carlota De Limón. Her Mexican icebox cake, infused with the sunny flavors of lemon and lime and stuffed with Maria cookies, is the perfect way to welcome the season. P.S. For just $8, you'll get exclusive access to our quarterly digital issues (including the reader-favorite Holiday Baking edition, plus two more coming this summer and fall), CookMode+ for easy phone cooking, and so much more.  START COOKING —Kristina Deputy Food Editor, The Kitchn Mixed Berry Pancake Skillet GET THE RECIPE Millionaire's Bacon GET THE RECIPE Smoked Salmon Egg Boats GET THE RECIPE Amalfi Cocktail GET THE RECIPE Carlota De Limón GET THE RECIPE How I Meal Plan Ease is always the priority. I aim for recipes that rely on familiar ingredients I already have in my pantry and drawers, and don't require too much hands-on cooking time. (Fortunately, you'll find a lot of these on The Kitchn!) Novelty is important. Cooking dinner night after night can be relentless — I gotta feel excited by what's on my plate, whether it's a new flavor, ingredient combination, or simple technique to save some time.  I eat pretty much everything. I change up my proteins throughout the week with chicken, seafood, beef, and pork making frequent appearances. And there's always room for pasta! That said, I'm not in my spicy era. I have two little boys — 3 and a half years old and 10 months — so my picks will mostly be recipes that shy away from too much heat.
