Cinnamon Bun Pancakes with Maple Butter Icing

I have to be honest…pancakes are usually not my thing.  I've never really been a fan and would always prefer a waffle over a pancake.  But one day I found this recipe. 


Cinnamon Bun Pancakes, what could be wrong with that?  So I tried it and loved it!  I've yet to try the icing because well, I don't like to use that much powdered sugar and butter in one recipe because I'm poor. I like to ration my ingredients. 


Anyway, I'm sure it's delicious, and you can always simplify the icing by mixing some powdered sugar with maple syrup.  Enjoy!

2 whole eggs beaten

2. In separate large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, corn syrup, butter and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture.
