I just posted my very favorite pancake recipe on my Cooking page. Go take a look. Chances are, you already have everything you need (unless it’s one of those days where you’ve put grocery shopping off for too long and now all that you have left is the baking soda in the fridge and a lonely jar of pickles. Not that I’m speaking from experience mind you. Not at all) so go ahead and try them out tomorrow for breakfast. Here’s my plan for your morning, ready?
~get dragged out of bed, much earlier than you’d like, by your starving munchkins.
~ start a pot of coffee for you and your hubs. This is always a good thing to do first since your eyeballs are probably still crusted over from sleep and if you are like me, no eyesight is necessary for starting coffee.
~Turn on Saturday morning cartoons for the munchkins. It’ll distract them from their gnawing, unending hunger pains.
~Grab a wipee to dig crust outta your eyes. (or, if it doesn’t take 10 minutes of running the tap water before it turns hot at your house, go ahead and use a washcloth and hot water, like a civilized woman. I, on the other hand, will grab a wipee because I can’t afford the guilt trip I get when I have to waste 10 gallons of water simply because it’s too cold for my ol noggin)
~ Fix Good Old Fashioned Pancakes it’s easy and surprisingly quick I might add. And they’ll taste like you picked up IHOP take-out. (is there even such a thing?!)
~ Arrange pancakes on plates for munchkins to consume while watching their brain-healthy cartoons.
~ Fix yourself a big ol stack of pancakes. Slather each layer with butter and the syrup of your choice (or the only one currently in your pantry). Pour a nice, hot, steamin cup o Java and head to the computer with your plate and mug. Dig in, careful not to get any syrup on your keyboard, and catch up on all your blog reading… Keep a wipee (or a wet washcloth for you civilized folks, sheesh!) handy so you can clean the syrup off your fingers before leaving comments on the blogs you visit. You know we all appreciate it. =0)
Alright, hop to everyone.

Oh Yeah! I can’t wait to try these.
I just posted on my blog about your Big Daddy Biscuits that I made this morning. They were SOOOOOO good.
I’m so glad you posted a pancake recipe, too. I’ve yet to find one I like, so maybe this one will be IT!

Yeah! I’m so glad you like the biscuits. And I was the same way with pancakes as you. I would always do the Bisquick recipe, which is fine, there just isn’t much about them to get excited over. I like this recipe because it doesn’t take much longer to make than the Bisquik recipe but tastes sooo much better. In my opinion anyway. And you can do any variation you want with this. We do the pumpkin pie spice, especially during the winter because it just tastes so seasonally festive. This morning we had one over-ripe banana so we threw that in and I added a bit of banana extract flavoring (I didn’t think one banana would be enough to flavor the whole batch properly). They were great!
So have fun and let me know what you think. I’m heading over to read how your biscuits turned out. =0)
