Spending the night at Grandma’s as a child meant we got pancakes the next morning!! They were delicious and fluffy and covered in butter and syrup (or granulated sugar for my mom that didn’t like syrup). It was the perfect breakfast and one of my favorite food memories.

Grandma made her pancakes from scratch, no prepared biscuit or pancake mix. She also added love to her pancakes, which we decided must be the secret ingredient when we tried to make them ourselves as teens and they just didn’t taste the same.
