Notes
The variations for these pancakes are endless! Try them with chopped nuts and maple syrup, spread with fruit preserves, topped with ripe berries – whatever you would like. Sometimes, when we’re feeling decadent, we mix 1/4 cup chocolate chips into the batter and dust with powdered sugar…..Delicious!!
