(Edit: To fix an error, but also, the blueberry bake is done and delicious. Adding the milk late didn't hurt and adding 4 extra ounces of reduced fat cream cheese made it so smooth. Definitely, in the pancake class in that it needs syrup for sweetness (if that's what you like.)

OK, I've got 5 minutes before my cooking masterpiece is done so here's a fast one:
