Do you know, most of my childhood I grew up thinking I didn’t like pancakes.  I loved french toast (some day I’ll have to share my secret to the best french toast you’ve ever had), and big fluffy Belgian waffles dripping in strawberries, all the way down to a frozen waffle with a dribble of Mrs. Butterworths.  But NOT pancakes.

I guess my mom was never a fan, because I don’t remember her making homemade pancakes….but I DO remember staying over night with a friend who’s mom made us whole wheat pancakes for breakfast (before eating healthy was cool)….and I distinctly remember feeding them to the dog under the table, and a few bites went into my napkin.

Well, I don’t remember when I gave pancakes a try again, but I know I was an adult, and they are now something I enjoy and cook quite often for my own family, whether they’re spooky pumpkin pancakes,  low cal fiber pancakes, or even just quick shake ‘n pour pancakes.  I like them all!

Today’s post, was inspired while in beautiful Park City for Evo Conference  last month, when I had pancakes for for breakfast at The Canyon’s First Track Cafe. They were SO good in fact, that I had them twice! I knew once I got home, I need to recreate them for my family! {ok, so maybe I did it selfishly for myself….but I DID share with the whole family}

A perfect lazy Sunday morning breakfast! (or dinner), served with cinnamon honey butter is the “finishing touch”.  It’s quick and easy to make, so I recommend you don’t skip it!

When I saw AshleyAnn’s buttermilk pancakes, I knew that’s what I needed to start with.

6. Add 1/4 cup batter to the preheated pan, for each pancake (don’t overcrowd).
