Back to the grinders - I have the grinder attachment that goes on the KitchenAid mixer. I mostly use it for grinding pork loin to make Italian sausage for pizza, no grease on the pizza that way. I buy Penzies Italian sausage spice mix and it is great. I hate greasy sausage on my pizza. I buy the smaller stick of peperoni to slice for out pizza also, the presliced stuff is so much more greasy.
When we hunted and had venison in the freezer, I froze the burger bits whole and then ground them as needed for burgers. The meat stays a lot fresher that way, as said before - air makes the meat go bad faster, even when frozen. Add an ice cube to the grinder after the last of the meat and it will push out the last bits without too much fuss.
Now - back on topic for pancakes:
I make German Apple Pancakes - which is like a big, single pan-cake, cooked in a skillet with apples sautéed butter. Occationally, I will add blueberries to the apples for something different.
Otherwise, our pancakes are just plain pancakes with butter and real maple syrup. DH has a couple of co-workers that tap their own maples and make syrup. To jazz it up occationally, I will heat 1 cup of frozen blueberries with 1/4 cup of maple syrup to make a blueberry syrup for my pancakes.
