How you like 'em hot cakes

I was never a pancake (or bacon) person until I moved to the south. Not that pancakes are a southern thing, but I've just started appreciating them more. As y'all know, I'm horrible at following recipes, so here's a recipe for everyone like me that just loves cooking. Go crazy with the substitutions, the add-ins, and the free styling. I promise the pancakes will always plate perfectly.
