Five-Ingredient Monkey Bread
I gave this monkey bread recipe to my daughter who has 6 children. They love this, and it is so simple they can make it themselves which they love to do. If desired, a thin mixture of powdered sugar frosting can be poured over warm biscuits.
Leftover Pancake Breakfast Sandwich
A pancake sandwich is a great way to use up leftover pancakes! We made this sandwich one weekend purely by accident. It's more of a knife-and-fork breakfast, rather than an eat-with-your-hands sandwich. There's room for lots of variation.
