Very tasty delicious pancakes. The whole family loved the flavor! The pancakes came up nice and fluffy. The almonds in the pancake batter gave it a good crunch. It was a little time consuming for being pancakes, but worth the work. My only complaint would be that it only made 4 small pancakes. If I were to make again I would double or triple the batter amount. I also would probably warm the berries up in the microwave for a little bit. The pancakes were delicious though! My son said it was 10 stars! The family did agree that it was not quite enough to feed more then 2 people. Thanks so much! Made for RSC#12

This was a really nice way to start the day. These pancakes were easy to put together and make. I mashed some of the fruit up and added it to the mixture and reserved the rest for the topping. But I did make some of the pancakes without the mashed fruit and still came out wonderful.
