Growing up, my family had somewhat of a Saturday morning breakfast tradition. We’d usually have the staple breakfast foods, like pancakes and eggs, but on special days, we’d have the works! I’ve tried starting a tradition like this with my husband, who really isn’t an earlybird, but he will definitely get out of bed at the first smell of bacon, and I know the thought of eating pancakes made from scratch also helps! A few weeks ago, I cloned 1SWEDEGIRL’s recipe for buttermilk pancakes and the results were fabulous. I’ve made homemade pancakes before, but never have they cooked-up so light, flavorful, and fluffy the way these did; I know the buttermilk definitely had something to do with it. The great thing about this pancake recipe is that it can easily be adjusted to include your favorite ingredients. If you’re a banana fan, try mashing up a banana in a cup before mixing it in with the batter, I also think cinnamon adds a nice touch; sprinkle walnuts on top and you have banana-walnut pancakes. Chocolate chips will also work well with this recipe. The possibilities are endless! Try cloning this recipe yourself, what kind of pancakes will you come up with for your family?

This weekend I plan on making criscrossqz’s French Breakfast Muffins. They are said to have a cake donut taste, but they’re muffins! Sounds like my kind of breakfast snack.
