Make Your Own Pancakes at Old Spanish Sugar Mill Pancake House
Make your own pancakes at Old Sugar Mill Pancake House in DeLeon Springs State Park.
We are passionate about food, shopping and unique places to stay and love to discover authentic mom-and-pop establishments.
Since Florida is home to delicious seafood, garden-fresh produce, desserts and fresh-squeezed goodness in a glass, the recipes found on our website have been lovingly tested in our Authentic Florida kitchen or provided by one of our hand-picked amazing guest food bloggers.
We have also personally stayed at or dined at these restaurants and vacation rentals or hotels (or have had someone VERY close to our team go and report back to us).
