What's your secret ingredient that makes your version of a common dish better than anyone else's?

Mine probably isn't that secret these days, but almost every sauce I add nutritional yeast to. Curry, chilli, bolognese, it just makes them all better.

This one’s a bit of a preference and not much an ingredient, but a topping. I tend to put molasses on pancakes over syrup or honey. I still occasionally use maple syrup or honey, but I love the bitterness of molasses.
On the topic of syrup, I put maple syrup in coffee instead of just sugar! The "earthiness" of the maple syrup goes really well with coffee.
(I do it with cold brew so I honestly don't know how it is with hot coffee.)
I made a coffee cake recently and made maple syrup icing for it. They go together deliciously well.
Interesting. I drink black coffee, but I have tried with molasses… it’s not bad by any means, but not something I would drink every day. Never once have I tried maple syrup (and I’m Canadian). I’ve tried maple flavoured coffee, but it didn’t taste great. I’ll have to give it a shot.
100ml espresso
45ml maple syrup
200ml of iceShake well, then top with 200ml of full-fat or creamy oatmilk.
Enjoy!
