holy freaking crap with the pancakes.

i am a pancake girl.

it stems from my mother's deep obsession with whole wheat waffles. they are healthy, but quite heavy. and crispy. personally, i feel that my sugary syrup doused dough should be fluffy. and white (if you're going to drown it in thick maple flavored sugar water, why try to make it healthy? just go with the fattiness. it's fun).

then i met bianca. she introduced me to the mexican pancake. (for you kids at home, this has exactly the same makeup as the regular pancake, bisquick, ya know. however, it's 10 times the size. it takes 2 spatulas to flip it. as bianca says, white people pancakes are too small).

however, as much as i love the giant mexican pancake, i have found my pancake lover. a pancake to punch all pancakes in their faces and make them realize that they are just not good enough to don the name of pancake.

the cinnamon bun pancake with maple-butter icing.(note: butter is in the title. butter=delicious)

this is the king of all pancakes. actually, with it's excessive sugar content, let's call it the queen. it takes the cake (pancake). it's delicious. it's ridiculous. and yes, i did have to go off my sugar hiatus. but i had a hankering for pancakes. so, i went to my trusty pioneer woman (read her high heels to tractor wheels, it will blow your freakin mind!!) and searched pancakes. as she is the queen of all things delicious, she supplied me with the pancakes i needed.

beautiful.
delicious.
divine.
sumptuous.
downright sinful.

if you don't go make pancakes right now, i may not be friends with you anymore. ok, i will be friends with you, but i will question the pull of your taste buds.

p.s. bianca? can we make these as mexican cinnamon bun pancakes? that might send me into euphoria.
