We love pancakes! We often have them on a lazy weekend night. My kids like to top them with whipped cream and dark chocolate chips. I like a little pure maple syrup on them. Of course, these are so good, you could eat them plain!
My kids enjoy making their own pancake shapes using a pancake pen. You can use a pancake pen to fill a cookie cutter for fun pancake shapes. We got ours at Williams-Sonoma, but you can also purchase on Amazon.
