Mancakes: 8 hearty pancake recipes to make for Father’s Day

Mancakes are pancakes without all the froufrou stuff. And they’re hearty enough to serve up to dear ol’ dad on Father’s Day.

Dads deserve breakfast in bed, too, you know. But somehow, that’s seen as a Mother’s Day thing.

Well, we’re challenging that assumption this Father’s Day. (Which, by the way, is coming right up on Sunday, June 16, don’t forget!)

We’ve culled the Los Angeles Times’ Test Kitchen for pancake recipes that will stick-to-your ribs and keep you full until lunch. Or maybe even dinner.

Take a spin through our photo gallery above and you’ll see what we mean.

We’ve got mancakes -- er, pancakes -- made out of mesquite, a German pancake for someone with a lumberjack’s appetite, and even oat cakes.

What are you planning to make for Fathers Day?
