NOTES

• Once you have added in your flour to the pancake batter, make sure you do not over-mix it or it may become stodgy.
• Do not over-heat your milk to ensure it does not cook the batter.
• You can use other fruit instead of mixed berries.
• Can replace sugar with zero-calorie sweetener such as erythritol or monk fruit.
