We lauded the St. Francis buttermilk olive oil skillet cake, studded with chunks of dark chocolate, baked in the wood-burning oven until its edges are crisped and slightly charred, and topped with caramelized apples, maple syrup, and whipped crème fraiche, since 2013. And we still love the indulgent, dessert-like treat.

We like it even better when it's free.

Pancake Palooza, the St. Francis brunch deal that offers a free Iron Skillet pancake for every table during brunch (with the purchase of a brunch entree), from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, has been extended through September 16, giving you three more chances to score this sweet deal.

Reservations available on the St. Francis website.
