How to Make Your Pancakes and Juice Fancy With No Extra Effort

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at CU Boulder chapter.

A classic breakfast of pancakes and juice is a staple across the country—but I think you can step it up a notch. Add two minutes to your regular prep time to use fresh edible flowers. Not only will it taste amazing, but it will make you feel like an executive chef.

Be sure to snapchat your creation to show your friends that even if you woke up look like a hot mess, you’re still a queen (or king)!
