Perfect Pancakes

As you may know, I really like having breakfast for dinner.  Not every day, mind you, but every now and then, I love to have the kind of breakfast that isn't really practical for a regular weekday morning.  Today's installment of  breakfast for dinner was pancakes.  I got this recipe from the pioneer woman via pinterest.  I have to insist that you serve it with real butter and real maple syrup.  I wanted fluffy whipped butter, and salted butter at that, but I only had unsalted sticks, so I poured some heavy whipping cream in a jar with a good bit of salt and set the kids to shaking.  While it isn't proper butter, it tasted a lot like it and was the perfect light fluffy consistency of whipped butter.  And truth be told, it was easy enough for morning time too.  I made the whole batch and froze the extras in plastic bags with wax paper between them.  I have reheated them with the toaster oven and the microwave.  They aren't perfect, but they are pretty good reheated.
