Happy Easter!

Here's a great pancake recipe perfect for your Easter Brunch.
I have included the original recipe and put the substitutions I made along side it as well.
I have also enjoyed a nice stack of these pancakes made with ricotta cheese and served with a delicious citrus syrup at Odeon in Tribeca.
I found a recipe for those but haven't tested it yet, so for now you'll have to enjoy this. I promise you won't be disappointed!
This photo doesn't even do justice to these delicious little things.
