Donna’s Delights: Homemade Pancakes

Nothing beats good pancakes made from scratch! Mel is the main cook for breakfast, and I am his prep chef.  This recipe calls for two prep bowls. I prepare the dry bowl ingredients the night before. It makes for a much quicker breakfast in the morning. Cook up some sausage to go with it and you have some deliciousness going on!
