Breakfast Bread — Bread is a staple of the Irish table; to do the recipe justice, use high-quality flour and top it with dense Irish butter. See the recipe for Breakfast Bread »Christopher Hirsheimer

Banana Nut Pancakes — In this recipe the bananas are mashed and then put into the batter to distribute their flavor.Rick Lew

Belgian Waffles — Maurice Vermesch baked these waffles (properly called Brussels waffles and, in Belgium, topped with just confectioners' sugar) at the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, but only after he sold them at the 1964-65 New York fair did they soar in popularity in this country. Vermersch's daughter Mariepaule wouldn't divulge her family's recipe, but we think we've come very close. One tip she did reveal: Aunt Jemima self-rising flour produces a flavor that is the most like that of the original waffle.James Baigrie

Sour Cream Date Coffee Cake — This scrumptious coffee cake is made with medjool dates, which are prized for their rich caramel flavor. See the recipe for Sour Cream Date Coffee Cake »Meredith Heuer
