Pancakes Smothered in Strawberries & Whipped Cream for a Crowd

You know all those lengthy recipes for buttermilk pancakes?  Well, fuggedaboudit.  If you’re cooking breakfast for a crowd, this is every bit as good and way easier!

Butter Pancakes with Strawberries and Whipped Cream

So Easy and So Good!

Just head on over to Sam’s (pre-placing your order on the Internet is the only way to go!) and pick yourself up a box of Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix.  No wonder their buttermilk pancakes are so popular.   Light and fluffy with a touch of creamy buttermilk, the only thing better for breakfast is to top ’em with strawberries and whipped cream and drench ’em in syrup.  If you’re cooking for more than 10 people, pick yourself up a pancake batter dispenser (1 per cook) while you’re at it.  You’ll thank me.  Now go for it!
