Piping hot and puffy from the oven, this golden pancake made a pretty presentation for a skier's theme breakfast I hosted. Served with my homemade buttermilk syrup, it's an eye-opening treat. That easy syrup tastes great on waffles and French toast, too. -Renae Moncur, Burley, Idaho

This recipe is so easy and so delicious! My husband was skeptical when he saw it, but after taking it on the go for breakfast, he called from work to tell me how delicious it was. Definitely one that we will be using on a regular basis!
