Punch Buggy Pancakes

Pancakes made from the ingredients in your pantry not only taste great, they're fun and easy to make! For a little variety, stir in a 1/2 cup of fresh chopped fruit--apples, bananas, peaches or pears. Or try 1/2 cup of frozen berries--thawed and well drained.

Read Pancakes, Pancakes by Eric Carle. Kids will get a thrill as they join Jack when he starts from scratch--grinding flour, gathering the eggs, milking the cow, and churning the butter--to make his breakfast pancake.

TIME SAVER TIP: Use a pancake mix and add buttermilk as the liquid.
