The dough was really thick so I added more milk. It was easier to do the pancakes. Another time I may try to puree the strawberries and fold them in the batter. The taste is so good. Thanks Kate :) Made for Photo tag

Made a batch & a half since we had overnight guests, & pretty much followed the recipe right on down! The strawberries I had were ripe & flavorful & the 'cakes were very satisfying! Although the other three had them with maple syrup, I liked mine topped with light Karo syrup! Thanks for posting this great recipe! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Stars Tag]

I followed the recipe exactly, but I didn't quike like it, sorry. The pancakes were okay with a dessert sauce, but on their own I though they were too bland.
