Recipe: "Must-Try" Delicious Cherry & Watermelon Pancake

This delicious combination of sweet maple syrup, cherry, and the freshness of watermelon totally made my day! I hope you give this easy original recipe a try!

Tips for making the perfect pancakes
*use a measuring cup to pour batter or a pancake dispenser 
*use oil to grease your pan, you need very little oil, butter burns on high heat
*wipe the pan with an oiled paper towel in between to clean and re-grease
*wait for enough bubbles to form in the middle and sides before trying to flip the pancake
