UPDATE: I made this for breakfast and they are really good and very easy to make! The recipe does not say fat free milk but based on the fat content, I really think that is what you need to use. I also got 13 pancakes from this batter using 1/4 cup batter per pancake so I think that 2 pancakes would be a serving at 4 ww points each. I used Log Cabin Lite Reduced Calories syrup. It had was 2 WW points per serving. they do make a sugar free pancake syrup but I really did not like that and I LOVE the Lite! We will occasionally make this in my house because it is a higher point breakfast but it is really good!
