Pancakes in my household are a Sunday ritual. If we aren’t having pancakes or waffles Sunday morning, well it’s just not a proper Sunday. Each girl has their own favorite type of pancake, and then that changes because they are kids after all. One HAS TO have blueberries, one like’s just plain pancakes, and the other is busy licking up the powdered sugar (what we call snow).

With a drizzle of pure maple syrup, or honey (my personal favorite), or blanketed with powdered snow, they become a canvas for your culinary creativity. So, break out that mixing bowl.
