American Style Pancakes with a Sweet Berry Sauce

Category: Dessert and Puddings

We all love traditional English pancakes served with lemon and sugar, but for a change try these for a thicker, sweeter alternative. They are easy enough for kids to make with a little help and are great for weekend breakfast or as a dessert.
