Pancaaaakes!!! ^^

Want a super quick and easy breakfast that will get the entire family's tummys rumbling?  The secret is...pancakes!  Who can resist a stack of fluffy, fresh-off-the-stove pancakes?  The best part is you don't have to spend all morning slaving over a hot stove.  In fact, enjoy a cup of coffee while you're working your magic, ^^.

If plain pancakes are too boring for your taste, no problem!  Just slice up a few bananas and throw it on top each dollop of batter as it's cooking.  If you don't care too much for bananas or want different types of pancakes just put your choice of fruits, chocolate, or what have you on each pancake.  It's a good thing this recipe makes about 15 pancakes, because you're guaranteed to have seconds, =).

Cornbread like my momma makes it =)
