Easter Morning Pancakes...

    Since it was Easter Sunday we pulled out one of our "special" pancake recipes. I would liked to have made something new, but since it was just the two of us today, I didn't want to start experimenting. After all, I would be the one eating all the leftovers (or everything, if the little guy happened to not like it).
    With these pancakes, I am able to freeze any leftovers, and I am certain that they will be eaten for breakfasts this upcoming week.
