Yalla, let’s eat pancakes!!!! Especially if they’re buttermilk. Doesn’t matter if you’re a kid or an adult, this is a crowd pleaser! I mean, who doesn’t love pancakes?! Even if you’re on a healthy diet, you can sub some of the flour for protein powder, and still be cool okay? Pancakes are just the perfect solution to a sucky day, or the best breakfast meal on a beautiful Sunday morning (like this one)! I have come by many a pancake but I think I have finally made the perfect one. This pancake recipe is very well researched (aka I ate a lot of pancakes). Just look at these bad boys. You can melt cookie butter all over it like I did, or make your own toppings and take a picture and send it to me! Yalla, go make these today and be the hero in your family! Everyone loves a hero🙌🏾
