When was the last time you cooked for someone? Because if you’re like me and are still scrambling around for a Father’s Day gift, making Dad a home cooked meal is the perfect way to show him how much you appreciate him (and easy to pull together last minute!).

The best part is choosing the recipe and in my experience, there are two things that win over hearts of [most] men (well, at least my dad, anyway): bourbon and pancakes.

But hey now, let me make a point clear. Cooking for someone does not mean spending all day in the kitchen from dawn to dusk. There are always, ALWAYS shortcuts in the kitchen you can take to make a meal that still leaves you extra time to hang out and catch up.

Case in point: these pancakes with a honey bourbon jackfruit topping. Low key, ready in about 30 minutes or so – exactly what you need for Father’s Day on Sunday.
