Wow, these are simply great! They taste like fried flour tortillas. We didn't make the 'pairs' of cakes, we just fried them individually. We sprinkled them with some Chai Spice Seasoning when they were done and served them with pork chops and salad. We used the pancakes to sop up the flavors off the plate and it was even more scruptious! These are so simple to put together, we will be making these from now on probably whenever we're frying foods that night. Thanks for a super easy and WOW recipe. :)
