Spiced Puffed Pancake with Fresh Berries and Lemon Yogurt Sauce

Happy National Pancake Day!! This day makes me excited, because I will take any opportunity to eat breakfast food at a meal other than breakfast! 🙂 Want to take part? What better way to celebrate than to make a pancake that is both fun to eat and fun to look at! Use the fruit that you and your family like best and decorate it together. Then take a peek during the baking process and watch it puff!

  8. While pancake is baking, mix together the yogurt, honey, and lemon juice in a small bowl for the sauce.
  9. As soon as the pancake is out of the oven, dab the excess butter out of the center with a paper towel and pour sauce into the center. Decorate with fruit.

Oh wow, I have never seen a puffed pancake! It looks delicious, and the lemon-yogurt sauce must work beautifully with the berries. Great recipe :)
