Have I told you the hubby always puts peanut butter on his pancakes?  Yep, as soon as I pull out the mix, he pulls out the peanut butter in anticipation.   But my favorite way to eat pancakes is with blueberry syrup.  Yep, just a little butter and some homemade blueberry syrup.

How to make Instant Pancake Mix:
