Buttermilk 'n' Honey Pancakes

 Every birthday I always let the kiddos pick something special for their birthday breakfast. This is something that my mom always let us do, along with opening one gift and singing to us. This year for Wyatt's birthday he picked PANCAKES!! If our family goes to Cracker Barrel is almost always guaranteed that at least one of us will order pecan pancakes. There is just something about pancakes and pecans that just go hand in hand. These particular pancakes are super moist from the honey that is added to the batter. And instead of putting the pecans in your batter, you mix with with softened butter and honey!! I could eat a whole batch of these things they are so good! This recipe comes from Southern Living's, "Comfort Food".
