Jan's Best Ever Blueberry Pancakes
Pancakes bring back happy memories for many people. We remember mornings as children watching the magic happen in the pan. It was always fun to be served the warm round discs with a smiley face made of syrup. As an adult I do not care so much about the syrup instead I like to infuse some sweetness into the pancake with fruit and vanilla. When the cake comes out of the pan I slip it a pad of butter and lightly sprinkle some sugar, regular or powdered. Why are these pancakes the best ever? They are fluffy, sweet, and sophisticated, The secret to their more sophisticated flavor is lemon zest. If you are feeding more than 2-3 people you will want to double the recipe.

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
Yes, you read that correctly! I know it is hard to believe that all that cinnamon-y goodness could be packed into a pancake and still taste like a cinnamon bun with icing, but low and behold I made them and they were amazing! These take a little bit more effort than just a regular old homemade pancake, but they are so worth it. I think this is a perfect treat for Christmas morning or any special occasion breakfast. In the past, we have made our own cinnamon rolls and that requires you make and proof dough, however with the pancake version your family will have all the flavors of the cinnamon rolls without all that time and effort.
