These easy pancakes are a great excuse to use cranberries! The berries' bright, tart flavor really is perfect in warm, comforting pancakes. Other berries including blueberries or raspberries would also work here if you're not a cranberry fan. Be sure to keep a a close eye on the pancakes while they cook, and check for doneness along the way, which can sometimes happen more quickly than 5 minutes. Leftovers freeze and reheat beautifully. To freeze the pancakes, arrange them in a single layer on a wax paper-lined baking sheet and place in the freezer until frozen, about 2 hours. Transfer to a zip-close plastic bag and freeze up to 2 months.
