These pancakes are the bomb.
Serve them with warm maple syrup and slather on the butter. Eat Dad style with your face close to the plate so the warm sweet steam goes right up your nose. If you're anything like my family you'll have to increase the recipe for each additional family member. Just consider this a recipe for one.
(Hard core momdads: Just dump frozen raspberries into pre-made pancake mix and its just as good).


Fruit Berry Pancake Recipe

1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
1 large egg
1 cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 cup berries of choice

In a medium mixing bowl, combine wet ingredients consisting of milk, melted butter or margarine, egg and mix the ingredients well.

Next form pancake batter by adding shifted flour, baking powder and sugar to the wet mixture. Stir your mixture just enough to dampen the flour. This batter be as thick as heavy cream, therefore if necessary add a little more milk.

Lastly, gently mix in your berries of choice (blue berries, raspberries, strawberries or blackberries).

Cook your pancakes in a lightly greased frying pan over medium high heat or on a heated griddle. Using a spatula, turn the pancakes to the other side when bubbles begin to form all around the surface of the pancake and when the underside of the pancake has browned to your liking. Once the pancakes are flipped cook until browned.
