Christmas Day Pancakes

Fluffy and easy to make. We double-batch it (amounts in parentheses) when we have 6+ people for breakfast so there is plenty for everyone. Chris is our go-to pancake baker, and he's pretty darn good at it! Leftovers are delicious heated in the microwave, or freeze them for a quick breakfast later. If you're adding blueberries, frozen or fresh, toss your berries in a bag with 1 tbsp flour before adding to batter.
