I left out the sugar because of diabetes and added some orange zest. When done, I used diced oranges and Land O Lakes Sugar Free Whipped Topping spray. It was exceptionally good. My only problem was making sure the sides were done. Maybe I need to flatten out the batter more. And, next time, I'm using Marscapone Cheese.

made this for the family for breakfast this morning. Didn't have berries, used pears instead. the pancakes have a light sweet taste, almost like a cheese filled crepe. Adding this to our repetoire of favorites.
