This is a fun recipe for our kids to help with, and they often make this on Saturday mornings. They get creative with the toppings, and the best part is that everyone can pick the toppings that they want! We make this using our pancake recipe, but it could also be easily made using a commercial pancake mix. We recommend serving every piece with pure Ohio Maple Syrup!
