When it comes to winter breakfasts, my ultimate favorite thing is a big stack of pancakes. I will take them over nearly anything else. The nice thing about this vanilla bean pancakes recipe is that it is so easy to make. They don’t require crazy ingredients and they always taste great. At Christmas I make these with eggnog, but once the eggnog is all used up I turn to buttermilk and a generous dose of vanilla beans. The flavor is fantastic and my kids love them. Then, to really top them off, I add a generous dose of cinnamon maple syrup. It is such a simple recipe that makes for a fantastic hearty breakfast to start off the day right.
