Pancakes

I forgot to buy bread this weekend. Now I had nothing to have for breakfast. But  I was real hungry and I decided to make pancakes. I really wanted waffles, but I don’t have a waffle iron, sigh… 

I have made pancakes a few times before, but hubby doesn’t like pancakes. So I make it for myself during weekdays. These pancakes were light and fluffy. Pancakes are traditionally eaten with maple syrup, but I don’t usually buy maple syrup. I just use honey or chocolate syrup or some strawberry preserve to go with my pancakes.
