Sweet Potato Pancakes with Pecan-Honey Butter From The Wave

I'm in the mood for a good breakfast dish today! So what better breakfast dish than pancakes. But you had to know I wouldn't be sharing the recipe for just any old pancakes.  No, no.  Instead, today we are headed to Disney's Contemporary Resort for The Wave for their delicious Sweet Potato Pancakes with Pecan-Honey Butter. Oh...I'm salivating just thinking about it!
