Ingredients

SYRUP:
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
2/3 cup orange juice
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons maple syrup

My husband doesn't usually like pancakes, however, he found these to be a good balance between sweet and bitter. I have a pancake recipe of my own with butter or oil in them. I worried these would stick or have an odd texture. No need to worry! These cooked beautifully and had a nice airy texture.

These were some of the best pancakes we've ever had! My husband and I made these together. The syrup is really good, We could almost have doubled it! We used 2 TBLS of maple syrup and it was perfect! This one is a keeper.

The syrup was fantastic, but the pancakes were really dry- should there be some butter or oil or applesauce something in the batter so they are not so dry???

Loved this and so did my kids! I used cherries instead of cranberries, and it was wonderful. I will make this on Christmas morning.

Ok, I modified this recipe a little as I didn't have the exact ingredients. I didn't use evaporated milk as I didn't have any, I used regular milk. I also used self-rising flour because I didn't have Bisquik. I don't think I even had an orange to use the peel! :) I used packaged dried cranberries (like Craisins), orange juice and the above changes and these came out wonderful!! My mom came by after and I served them to her and she loved them! I real fluffy pancake, not dry, very tasty and the "syrup" is just awesome though I would use a little less driedncranberry in that and let the orange juice and syrup just be as it is. You don't need a whole lot of sugar in it either. For diabetics, you could substitute Stevia for sugar and also use Agave nectar instead of maple syrup---great recipe, easy to change!
