Mmm, breakfast, what a great idea. When Chicagoist was growing up we made pancakes or biscuits almost every Saturday. We played around a fair amount with the ratios and ingredients of our batter; sometimes we would have green pancakes (not so good), other times we put the maple syrup right in the batter (really excellent).

This weekend we made white chocolate chip pancakes, and they're a great beginning pancake.
