Cranberry pancakes  

After Barrett's post last week about cranberry pancakes, we decided to make some of our own. Barrett was right -- they're absolutely delicious, and a nice change of pace from the blueberry variety (which I nevertheless adore) that we have all the time. I made these with my usual buttermilk batter rather than the one Barrett posted, but otherwise I followed his instructions. I did find that the pans had to be wiped between batches because the berries left some residue when they burst -- although I may have left them a little wetter than I should have.

I had intended to serve these with leftover cranberry sauce, but then when it was time to eat them we went with maple syrup instead. They were wonderful.
