Pancakes are the best breakfast food on the weekends, well during the week, too. It just depends on how much time you have in the AM. I am a morning person and so making pancakes on a Tuesday is no biggie. If you need that extra time in the morning for yourself, save making these pancakes until a day that starts with a “S”. What I like most about pancakes are how nice and filling they can be. They also can be sweet or savory. I am a sweet kinda pancake girl, go figure. Who else is with me on that one?
