Science with Pancakes

Breakfast & Science Experiments!  That’s my kind of multi-tasking!  I found this recipe on www.allrecipes.com.  It was delicious!!!  The pancakes were incredibly fluffy, and we were able to have a science lesson on fermentation.  We're going to try to make plastic out of milk next!

A few notes about the pancakes:  We tripled the recipe and only had a couple left over.  I also added a splash of vanilla.
