I’m not a big breakfast person, but I do like pancakes. I prefer them unadorned, eaten plain out of hand. Larry likes them with some maple syrup. He found this recipe online – Country Gourmet is a nice little restaurant in Sunnyvale so I prepped everything the night before so they’d be quick to make the next morning.

This recipe says it makes 8-10 pancakes. I’d say that’s accurate, if the pancakes are plate-sized. It made 26 smaller pancakes. Way too many for both of us, so I froze the extras. We liked these, they’ve got a great flavor and a nice texture. Hearty.
