Snickerdoodle Pancakes
 Snickerdoodle Pancakes When I was growing up we had a lot of pancakes. I’m sure because they were cheap and we all loved them. I am the oldest of seven children so I often helped my mom out in the kitchen. I remember we would have contests to see who could eat the most. I learned that from my Uncle Leonard who told me his record was over 100 pancakes in the pancake eating contests he would have with his brothers. We tried many times to break the record but never even came close. I used my favorite buttermilk pancake recipe to start with here. My dad always ate his pancakes with butter and sugar. I got to thinking about that this morning because I don’t remember trying it as a kid, I just thought it was strange, I wanted good old maple syrup on mine or what I thought at the time was maple syrup. We didn’t buy syrup back then, my mom made it with sugar, karo syrup, water and maple flavoring. I’m sure it was cheaper than the one in the bottle which we got once in awhile as a special treat. When you are feeding 7 kids cheap was good. Pancakes at our house were usually made out of Bisquick, something I haven’ had in forever. So I digress here, back to today’s pancakes. I decided to try the butter and sugar version of pancakes my dad ate only I wanted to add cinnamon to the sugar mixture. OMGosh they were so good this way, I brushed the butter on with a pastry brush and then sprinkled the cinnamon sugar mixture over the pancakes from a sieve. I decided to brush it on after I dipped the first pancake in some melted butter and like a sponge I think 2 tablespoons of butter soaked in a second so decided a brush was a much better option. So now I had a really good cinnamon sugared pancakes and I realized they looked almost like a Snickerdoodle cookie, just flat like a pancake, thus Snickerdoodle Pancakes. So as I am taking pictures of these pancakes I get to thinking we really needed a syrup to take it up a notch. So I went back in the kitchen and warmed up some chocolate sauce I made the other day. OMGosh again, these are the best ever pancakes I have ever made.
