Paco’s Pancakes

DSC_0001

Once upon a time we lived in the South close to all of our family! Oh was it nice! Occasionally we would drive to the in-laws for the weekend.  Mark’s dad (aka “Paco” to our kids) would make us pancakes every Saturday morning! They were the BEST!  Something we looked forward to for sure.  At some point, I asked Paco to share his “secret” recipe….and that he did plus he taught me first hand how to make his pancakes! It’s been a few years, and I still make them each Saturday morning.  Reminds us of our Southern roots:) SO you are in for a treat with this recipe! SO much better than the stuff in the box…and not too hard to make!

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoon baking powder
