Grandma's Soul Food Pancakes (with Plantains) Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Pancake Recipes. (Grandma's Soul Food Pancakes (with Plantains) Recipe). My grandmother is from Mississippi. I call these her 'soul food' pancakes because she grew up at a time when people who had very little made simple meals taste super delicious. Every Sunday before church, she made these pancakes to get us out of bed. They have a crepe like texture but are still pancakes and are delicious.
