Cake Batter Pancakes . . what a great idea! Today at work my new friend Caira told me about making cake batter pancakes for her husband’s birthday and I was delighted with the idea of something so inventive. When I arrived home, I immediately went online and found this recipe (and picture) on the Website: “How Sweet It is” and couldn’t wait to share it with you!
It’s a charming and delicious idea I know will be a hit with my granddaughters – can’t wait to give it a try – how about you? I am thinking it would be a perfect way to start a child’s birthday – a wonderful morning surprise.
