Pancakes with Strawberry Sauce

QUICK TRICK:  When you have five nieces and nephews, all under the age of 10, over for breakfast on a Saturday morning, don't be a hero.  I use Fast Shake Buttermilk Pancake Mix.  Just follow the instructions on the box.  I pour the mix into a bowl to make sure I get every last drop of mix.

A fun little tip - take a pint of strawberries, washed and hulled, and put them in the blender.  Blend until smooth, sieve to get the seeds out and pour them into a bowl.  Add 1 Tbsp of sugar and whisk together.  Pour over the pancakes to get a yummy fruit topping.  The kids will love it!

*obviously you can use any kind of berry.  The sieve and sugar parts are the most important.
