This past weekend was our first in town in a month! After
spending the past three weekends in Florida for various events, I have to say
that although we had a blast traveling, it felt great to sleep in and wake up
in our own bed on Saturday.
While easing into the day, I got a hankering for pancakes
and on a whim, pulled up recipes for homemade pancakes on Pinterest. I have
always been one to use the boxed mix to fix pancakes, so I am not sure what
made me want to investigate the homemade version that morning, but I am glad I
did! To my surprise we had all of the ingredients on hand, and even had an
extra ingredient with which I experimented- BACON.
I am not sure I will ever go back to the boxed stuff again
after eating these pancakes! We had a couple slices of leftover bacon from
Friday morning’s breakfast, and I crumbled them up in the ziplock in which they
were stored and added to the pancakes once they were distributed into spoon
fulls on the griddle. I added bacon to some and chocolate chips to others, then
left the second round plain. I used this recipe,
then just added the extras. I also used whole wheat flour.
Bryan and I both loved them and I can’t wait to make them
again! They only took 5 minutes longer to prep than the boxed mix, but tasted
so much better. I hope you will give them a shot! Let me know what you think if
you do, or if you have any pancake tips to share!
