I’m in love with these.
I had similar pancakes during our stay in Reynold’s Mansion and I couldn’t get them out of my head. Just kept thinking and dreaming about them.
And I think these pancakes were even a little better than the ones we had there.
They were just soo fluffy, sweet with a light tang from the lemon and then slaughtered with syrup and butter. I am drooling just thinking about them!
Even the husband loved them and he’s not a lemon lover at all so you know these are good!
Recipe Review:
Stars: 5+++
Level: Easy
Comments: This recipe was easy to follow and turned out perfectly! Pancakes were light and fluffy just heaven on a plate!
Negatives: These do take a little more work (and bowls) than most pancakes recipes but definitely worth it!
Tips: These are great frozen and reheated in the microwave!
Will I make these again? YES!!! Probably some of my favorite pancakes…ever!

Gonna have to try this recipe. Beautiful presentation!
Thank you! š
They look so tasty! And good to know they freeze and reheat well! About how many pancakes does this recipe make?
I used 1/4 cup measuring cup and it made 12 pancakes (4 servings). To freeze them I covered a baking sheet with foil, placed the pancakes on the baking sheet in a single layer and freeze for 1 hr. Then transfer them to a ziplock bag. To reheat just microwave for 2 mins and they were perfect! š
