A lot of restaurants in America serve different versions of red, white, and blue pancakes for their holiday breakfast specials during July for the 4 of July celebration. Normally they serve buttermilk pancakes or plain pancakes with fresh fruits and whipped cream. I have even seen places serve pancakes with red white and blue sprinkles. Well this recipe is different. It doesn’t use butter milk or sprinkles it uses fresh sweet cream. The fruit are all cooked into a wonderful simple syrups, and the whipped cream is homemade. Let’s get started.
