Sugar Mill Pancake Breakfast

De Leon Springs is where people go to find eternal youth by swimming in the crystal clear blue water of Ponce de Leon Springs, where I go to have all you can eat pancakes...


And you make them yourself.

Florida is truly a beautiful state with a lot of history behind it, Ponce de Leon Springs being some of that history. Juan Ponce de Leon led the first Spanish exploration to Florida; he, however, was in search of the legendary "fountain of youth". This spring is said to be this legendary "fountain of youth", so pop on over and take a dip... it's breath taking. This beautiful spring is surround by a state park that has canoeing and kayaking, a nature trail, a museum, and my  favorite part the Old Spanish Sugar Mill Restaurant where I get to make all you can eat pancakes.



Their menu is pretty simple... they have salads, different kinds of sandwiches, and breakfast items, but I go for the pancakes. The batter is stone grown and unbleached. They also offer gluten free vegan batter.


You are given two different kinds of batter, white unbleached flour and the Sugar Mill's own unique five mixture batter; which rocks and makes the best pancakes ever. You have the choice to add toppings but mom and I decided against that. We did get two eggs each and she chose a side of bacon and for me vegetarian sausage.

When our cooking supplies arrived it was time to get down to business...














This is a really fun thing to do. My mom and I enjoyed making pancakes and eggs together. This would be a really fun thing to do with a girl friend or even on a day date, you get to interact with the other person while creating amazing pancakes... pick a few toppings and create something delicious.

After brunch mom and I headed outside to walk around the spring to enjoy the nature and look at the history.















The famous fountain of youth... now I will be young forever *wink*

*My Thoughts*
I was not feeling too good on this adventure, I had a very bad headache and went home and slept.
Overall it was a fun day and I always enjoy making pancakes.
