I love easy recipes. We are a busy family so if I have an easy recipe, it is my first pick.
My boys wanted pancakes one morning, so I agreed to whip some up because it was an open Saturday morning so I had the time to make them. I checked my pantry and my pancake mix was out, so out of necessity I just made up a recipe. But I hit another snag in my recipe creation, I had no oil. This was a problem. My next thought was about butter. I had plenty of butter, so my butter pancake recipe was born! I knew the combination was a hit because everyone, including myself, loved these pancakes.
Any recipe with butter makes me think comfort food. Butter makes recipes better!

Just as Delicious the Next Day
I often make a double batch of these butter pancakes so we will have some leftover for the next day. This makes breakfast even easier, which I love as a busy mom. All we need to do is simply pull the pancakes out of the fridge and warm them up in the microwave. We top them with syrup, or some fruit and whipped cream for something different. It’s just that easy to make a delicious homemade meal. This works perfect for when we have school or a game.

Add 1 Tablespoon of butter to pan, spread butter all over frying pan. Heat pan over medium low heat. Pour 1/4 cup scant pancake batter onto frying pan. Flip pancakes when wet top begins to cook (watch to make sure they don’t burn on the underside), be sure to flip over to cook both sides. Done when golden. Recipe Note: The first few pancakes tend to be more saturated with butter so turn out thinner than the rest of the batch. Make sure you cook them long enough or they will be pale.
