Blue Ribbon Recipe by

My friend, Kathie Wallis, shared this recipe. I usually have a can or two of sweetened, condensed milk, but I don't often use it. When it goes to expire, I search for a means to incorporate it into the menu. The pancake recipe I whipped up with my expiring sweetened condensed milk... OMG! Light, spongy, good flavor, awesomeness! I bake a lot and am not, generally, impressed with my results—over-critical, maybe—but these... oh, yeah! Wow!"

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Never made pancakes from scratch? This is a fantastic pancake recipe to get your feet wet. They're golden brown, fluffy, and slightly sweet. These pancakes are a little different than what you make with a box thanks to the condensed milk. Reserve these for a special occasion, but honestly, they're so easy you'll want to make them because it's Saturday.
