Pancake Birthday Tradtion

Growing up we had pancakes for our birthday breakfast....but not any pancakes. German pancakes. Though I have made this recipe multiple times (as the eldest of 9 I helped make them a lot for my younger siblings). Today is my youngest brother's birthday, so I made them for the boys in his honor. Happy Birthday, Brother!  This picture is of BAP and SSP having a slumber party with him.

Since my brother is now a Freshman in college (in a different state), BAP and SSP wanted to still remember his birthday for him. So I made these delicious pancakes for lunch; they are munchkin approved.
