      Excellent recipe. I love that the batter is not too sweet. I also have to say that adding blueberries to the batter makes them taste even more wonderful! Thank you!
      I would definitely make again!

        Hi, Lily! They are definitely our family favorite pancakes. Yes, you can add berries, chocolate or nuts to these pancakes. We prefer them plain with berry topping and cream. Thank you kindly for sharing your experience with me and for making my recipes. It is greatly appreciated. 😀

      These look delicious. My husband is a pancake nut, so I'll have to try these and sub buttermilk for the whey. Thank you. Beautiful photos, I might add.

        You can make farmers cheese and you will have whey. You can substitute with buttermilk, but you may need to adjust the amount of flour. Thanks for your comment 🙂
