Oh my gosh, these pancakes looks so fluffy and delicious Marsha. 🙂
Thanks, Puja! 🙂
The number one rule in pancakes is that they have to be fluffy. The second rule, in my book, is chocolate. So you are two for two on these! Love it!
Thanks, Shelby! 🙂

Oh wow – these look so fluffy! I love pancakes but somehow in the hustle and bustle of life I seemed to have stopped making them and that needs to change! Thanks so much for this recipe.
Thanks, Shashi!
