We eat pancakes almost every weekend. J loves them and over time, I have come to love them too. He would eat plain unadorned pancakes with a little maple syrup every weekend. However, I have a need to add something to them: pecans, blueberries, spices, bananas…you name it. We were out of maple syrup this weekend, and I wanted to make something that would pair well with whipped cream. Peaches were natural solution. J still thought these would be good with syrup. I thought the light sweetness of the powdered sugar and the mellowness of the cream were a nice change.
