Pistachio Pancakes

By

These pancakes were amazing! They really did taste like my Pistachio Cookies!! I was pleased with them and so was hubby! I thought they were pretty festive with green color, don’t you? Weird eating green pancakes, but fun!! Kind of reminds me of Dr. Seuss’s Green Eggs and Ham.
Making these cookies pancakes, I got 10 of them! When I first put the batter in the skillet, they were kind of liquidy, so I had to add more flour to firm them up a bit. If you make these you will probably get 8 pancakes, maybe 9 out of the batch.
