Deciding what I want to strive for and then setting goals to get there... "But the dreamers of the day are dangerous people because they think their dreams into reality with eyes wide open."

But since homemade buttermilk biscuits taste divine, the pancakes would too I'm sure. For a fruit syrup, we heat in a pot either fresh or frozen strawberries or blueberries with water and sweeten to taste. Add corn starch to thicken (tip: mix starch with a little bit of cold water before adding to mixture). Love the blue sides. It blends with the heading as well as the photo. Thought: use a different family photo and page colors (to match or blend with the photo) for each season. We haven’t experimented with buttermilk.

But I never use sweetener in the pancakes. Do you use buttermilk? E..yes, the 10 minute thing has been a nice effect. I think I did it unintentionally before on our "best" pancake days; just getting busy while cooking. But doing it on purpose (deliberately LOL) has had a yummy effect!

Then for a "topping", we usually use a jelly/jam -- pure maple syrup used occassionally.

The same very recipe you use and it is now in my head as well. How has mixing it until gently combined and letting it sit for 10 min. worked for you? We’ve started our own Pancake Saturdays here too.
