Pancakes are apart of my childhood. My would pancakes in the morning and at night. Whenever she was to busy to make them my big sister would make them. Don't tell my mom this but my sister's pancakes has a slight edge over my moms. My mom would kill me if she heard me say that. I remember a time when I was little and I was begging my family to make pancakes before church. I would cry until I got what I wanted, and I ended up getting the pancakes. Ever since then my family would make pancakes at least 3 times a week, mainly on the weekends. My love for pancakes are unmatched. I believe in pancakes. In the morning, the smell of fresh pancakes will have my mouth watering. When I go to sleep they are what I can look forward to in the morning; knowing that when I wake up I will dive into the golden fluffy pillows topped off with warm butter and maple syrup. I can make them however I want to make them, that's the beauty of pancakes. Strawberry pancakes, blueberry pancakes, chocolate chip pancakes, even plain pancakes have the key to my heart.

My favorite type of pancakes to make in the morning are cinnamon pancakes. I can make cinnamon pancakes every single day of the week and not get sick of them. I walk into the kitchen and whip out the Aunt Jemima pancake mix and pour it into a bowl or cup. I then add a cup of water to the batter and stir the mix. I do not know how to make pancakes from scratch but I will learn in the near future. Once I see the batter thickens up I then add the cinnamon and a cap full of vanilla. I mix it all together to make sure the ingredients get into the batter. I turn on the stove with my pan on it and put some butter in the pan so the pancakes don't  stick to the pan.

Once the pan is heated up, I pour the batter into the pan in circle shapes and let it sit for about 5 minutes. I know when to flip the pancakes when I start to see little holes or bubbles start forming on the other side. The cooked side should be nice and golden. I put butter on the cooked side to give it some more flavor. Then I wait for another 4 minutes and flip the pancake again knowing both sides are golden brown. The house starts smelling like cinnamon, this is when I start to get really excited. Once my pancakes are done I take out a plate and stack them. I grab the Aunt Jemima syrup and pour it all over my pancakes. There is no better smell in the world. I make sure my pancakes soak up the syrup before I take that first bit. I cut my pancakes into three and the first one is heaven for me. I just love my cinnamon pancakes.
