Spiced Puffed Pancake with Fresh Berries and Lemon Yogurt Sauce

Happy National Pancake Day!! This day makes me excited, because I will take any opportunity to eat breakfast food at a meal other than breakfast! :) Want to take part? What better way to celebrate than to make a pancake that is both fun to eat and fun to look at! Use the fruit that you and your family like best and decorate it together. Then take a peek during the baking process and watch it puff!
