even when it's a box mix! This morning I decided to make pancakes. But I always put my own little twist on them. It's sooo easy!  Go ahead and decided how many pancakes you want. For baby girl and I, I decided a  cup of mix and a scant less than 3/4 cup of water would do. Then I added what makes it special; about an 1/8 tsp or less of cinnamon  1tsp of good vanilla  And  3 diced strawberries!  Mix everything together EXCEPT the strawberries. Once it's mixed well toss in the strawberries and  give a good stir. I used a 1/4 measuring cup to scoop out the batter. It makes a nice sized pancakes.  It has taken me forever to figure out how to cook the perfect pancake.  1. Lightly, lightly spray your skillet with your favorite non stick cooking spray.  2. If using butter don't use more than a tablespoon of it.           3. Get your skillet HOT,HOT, HOT!  4. When putting the batter in your skillet ( I used a 12" cast iron skillet
