In a small bowl, toss cranberries with 1/4 cup sugar. Add to dry mix.
In a medium sized bowl combine wet ingredients.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until combined. Lumps are okay.
Cook on a hot griddle until done, about 2 minutes per side.
Notes
If fresh or frozen cranberries are unavailable, you can soak dried cranberries in hot water for 15 minutes to plump them up. Drain the water and pat dry with a paper towel before adding to the pancake mix.
