My sister the other day was sorely disappointed that I had breakfast items missing from my food recipes, and I agree with her. The things is, my favorite breakfast items are not cooked by me so I forget to pester who make them for the recipes so I can post them. Well folks, the wait is over. Breakfast is making its appearance on Fatty Bear’s Delights and we are starting with….
PANCAKES!!!
Ordinarily, I am not a huge fan of pancakes…I’m more of a waffle girl., but I have a friend who makes the most wonderful pancakes and always finds the most unique recipes to work with or he comes up with them off the top if his head. I like to think he’s a pancake genius. His pancakes reduce me to becoming something like this duck…
Either A…pestering for pancakes at every moment….
Or B….
I think you get the picture. Anyways, You will not be sad with the pancakes below so what are you waiting for?? Get in the kitchen and whip up a batch now. Woo that fatty bear in your life.
