My kids are seriously crazy for pancakes. They ask — and sometimes demand them pretty much every weekend. When I am feeling generous (usually if they've given me enough time to have a cup of coffee first before they ask) I will make them their favorite breakfast: Mickey Mouse shaped pancakes with chocolate chips and sprinkles with maple syrup and whipped cream on top. Man, they are spoiled! Don't worry, I do make sure they get a good teeth-brushing in afterwards and veggies later in the day. So, yeah. We've tried a lot of different recipes we've found on the ol' internet. We've finally settled on this one — our favorite pancake recipe.
