So, you love brunch. We do too. Going to restaurants and patiently waiting for that delicious plate of eggs Benedict while sipping bottomless mimosas is a more than satisfying way to spend your weekend. If you have access to a kitchen, cooking brunch at home can be a fun way for you to socialize without having to put on pants or leave a tip.

This puffy pancake is perfect for a crowd. It rises in the oven and puts on its own little show. Plus, it only takes 20 minutes to bake, which means more time for cocktails. Thanks, science.
