This next recipe from the newlywed cookbook series is my aunt and uncle's famous simple pancake recipe. I grew up in a pretty traditional Eastern European household, so pancakes weren't something we typically had for breakfast [eggs, veggies and cold cuts were more our style]. I actually don't think I tried pancakes until I started grade school; I had no idea what I was missing out on!
This recipe is easy, and delicious, with simple ingredients. Perfect for Sunday morning breakfast with the family. It's also picky toddler approved!
