Restaurant of the Week: Polly's Pancake Parlor, New Hampshire
by Kara DiCamillo, Newport, Rhode Island on 02.23.06
We’ve been hiking Mt. Washington and the Presidential Range for years and can’t think of another place to go for a hearty breakfast after a weekend’s hike than Polly’s Pancake Parlor. Located on Hildex Maple Sugar Farm, the family business has been around since 1938 and not only do they use their own original recipes (that means, no prepared mixes) but their delicious waffles and pancakes are made from stone-ground organic buckwheat, whole-wheat and cornmeal. Polly’s strives to serve the lightest and fluffiest pancakes possible and we can attest that they are some of the best we’ve had. Our recommendation: try the Pancake Sampler where you get two each of any three styles, including add-ins (we’ve always been a sucker for those chocolate chips). The maple “toppings” come to your table as sugar, syrup or spread, which is homemade at the farm as well and the Hildex speciality. And if you can’t make it to the Parlor for the real thing, check out their online store. It has pancake mixes, pure maple syrup and several other gift ideas. ::Polly’s Pancake Parlor
Definately worth visiting if you are in the whites. This place is a favorite of locals and tourist alike!!!
What do you mean, no prepared mixes? I can see about ten bags in the photo illustration. Those look like prepared mixes to me. And it looks like they're willing to sell these prepared mixes to others. So if prepared mixes are so bad, why is it so cool that they're selling them? Sheesh.
It might be better to say something like recipes with no transfats or recipes mixed from scratch daily.
