In honor of National Pancake Day, I thought I would share our family’s favorite pancake recipe. These are the best, fluffiest pancakes ever. They are really quick and simple to make. I often modified the recipe and substituted whole wheat flour instead of the all-purpose flour for a healthier option. You can also add 1 cup fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips to the batter for extra yummy pancakes. For the pickier eater, offer different toppings like nuts, fruit or whipped cream so everyone can enjoy their own pancake creation.
Buon Appetito!
