Pancakes

Years ago when I would go out to breakfast with friends, I would be so envious of them when they ordered pancakes. I always liked the taste of pancakes, but they always sat heavy in my belly. One weekend, I was hosting a brunch and one of my guest specifically requested pancakes. Yikes! So I searched through some fund raiser cookbooks I had and came upon this recipe. They turned out perfectly and everyone raved about them. But I didn’t try them …at least not on that day. I decided, after hearing all the compliments, to try them when no guests where present. Much to my surprise, these pancakes did not lay like a rock in my stomach. But better than that, these are the tastiest pancakes I have ever had. They are light, fluffy and flavorful. Occasionally, I’ll add some cinnamon to the batter just for a change of pace.
