I’m finding it VERY hard to get motivated today.

Ian and I had an AMAZING anniversary get-a-way. We stayed at the Wynn  in Las Vegas, and everything was absolutely perfect.

{In case you’re wondering, it is A LOT of fun to be waited on ALL the time.}

The first day there, one of the waiters mentioned that we HAD to try the blueberry pancakes.  They take 20 minutes to prepare, but he assured us it was well worth the wait.

20 minute pancakes…I had to see what that was all about

{research of course}

Well, these were the BEST pancakes Ian and I had EVER eaten. First, they are gigantic {the two of us together could not finish the three.} They were SO fluffy {which is why the 20 minutes}, and overflowing with fresh berries. The whipped butter and powdered sugar sent them completely over the edge.

 

The cafe cooks them low and slow to make sure the center is cooked through, but the edges are golden and not too brown.

Sheer pancake perfection.

Naturally, I had to see if I could at least come close to these beauties at home. I don’t usually have buttermilk, but my fridge is always stocked with yogurt. A little milk + yogurt = a great substitution for buttermilk.

Food always tastes better on vacation, but my pancakes were pretty darn good. Now if only I could get someone to clean up this mess 🙂
