Working from home calls for heartier breakfasts. We love this tried and true pancake recipe from NYT Cooking: 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder teaspoon salt... 1 tablespoon sugar, optional 2 eggs 1 to 2 cups milk 2 tablespoons melted and cooled butter (optional), plus unmelted butter for cooking, or use neutral oil Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat. In a bowl, mix together dry ingredients. Beat eggs into 1 1/2 cups milk, then stir in 2 tablespoons melted cooled butter, if using it. Gently stir this mixture into dry ingredients, mixing only enough to moisten flour; don't worry about a few lumps. If batter seems thick, add a little more milk. Place a teaspoon or 2 of butter or oil on griddle or skillet. When butter foam subsides or oil shimmers, ladle batter onto griddle or skillet, making pancakes of any size you like. Adjust heat as necessary; usually, first batch will require higher heat than subsequent batches. Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, after 2 to 4 minutes. Cook until second side is lightly browned. Serve, or hold on an ovenproof plate in a 200-degree oven for up to 15 minutes.

Nothing beats warm cornbread fresh out of the oven. Thanks Food & Wine for this mouthwatering recipe: INGREDIENTS 2 tablespoons peanut oil 2 cups yellow stone-ground cornmeal ... 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 2 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 2 cups well-stirred whole buttermilk 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (3 ounces), melted DIRECTIONS Add peanut oil to a 10-inch cast-iron skillet; place skillet in oven, and preheat to 450F. (Do not remove skillet while oven preheats.) While oven preheats, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, 21/2 teaspoons salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Stir in buttermilk until smooth; stir in eggs, then stir in butter. Carefully remove skillet from oven; pour hot oil from skillet into cornbread batter, stirring until blended. Working quickly, sprinkle remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in bottom of skillet, then immediately pour batter into hot skillet (do not stir), and return to oven. Bake at 450F until top is golden brown, about 22 minutes. Immediately invert cornbread onto a wire rack; let cool completely, about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

In the mood for something sweet at home? This banana bread recipe from Bon Appétit Magazine will not disappoint!
