Chocolate Pancakes with Grandma's Syrup

This recipe came from the World Wide Ward cookbook, from Ilona Lundgreen in Monroe, Utah. They were delicious, but . . . a few suggestions. One, they are rich. As in, Bill Gates rich. Ha! So my suggestion is to serve them at a buffet, with other things available to balance out the chocolately goodness. My other suggestion is to make them silver dollar size. They are too rich/dense to have by themselves for breakfast. I might as well have served brownies for breakfast! But they certainly are tasty and nice to have in your breakfast goodie arsenal, a definite keeper.

Chocolate Pancakes:

1 1/2 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
6 tbsp sugar
6 tbsp baking cocoa
1 1/4 cups warmed milk
4 tbsp butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten

Mix and sift together dry ingredients. Add milk, butter and eggs and beat until smooth. Add extra milk if the batter is too thick. Cook as you do regular pancakes. Serve warm with Grandma's syrup.

Grandma's Syrup:

2 cups sugar
1 8oz can evaporated milk
1 tbsp butter

Boil sugar and milk, stirring constantly until all sugar is dissolved. Cook over high heat until the mixture starts to boil. Do not leave unattended, as it comes to a boil quickly. Remove from heat and add butter. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir and enjoy!
