Every time we are at my parent’s cabin in Alaska we gain about fifteen pounds. About ten of those pounds are due to my dad’s pancakes.  He makes them about every morning and they are hard to turn down.  If you have watched my dad’s cooking video before, then you know his favorite ingredient is butter!
