Chef's Tips

Don't overmix the batter - lumps are okay and keep pancakes fluffy
If using frozen berries, don't thaw them first to prevent color bleeding
Make mini sizes for perfect toddler portions
Cook on medium-low heat to ensure they cook through without burning
These freeze beautifully - reheat in toaster for quick breakfast
