Lemon Cream Pancakes
These pancakes are perfect for a spring or summer breakfast – light and fluffy with a hint of lemon. They are the perfect base for fresh berries and maybe a spoonful of sweetened yogurt or cream. I love these – they taste like sunshine! This recipe is from the Joy of Cooking – one of my favorite cookbooks!
Lemon Cream Pancakes
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sour cream
1/3 cup milk
grated zest of two lemons
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
Quickly mix the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients. The batter will be thick and bubbly. Cook on a non-stick griddle, flipping when bubbles appear on the surface. Serve warm with berries and cream. Enjoy!
The total cost for this recipe is $2.65 and it makes twelve, 4-inch pancakes – not too bad! I’m not sure how much pancake mix is, I don’t buy it because I think it’s just as easy to mix them from scratch.
What are your favorite spring/summer breakfast ideas? I’d love to hear from you! I hope you try these pancakes – you will love them!

Stephanie, you’re killing me w/ these yummers….(trying to downsize the waist line) BUT I adore all things lemony so I’ll have to give these a taste test. 🙂

Sorry! I try to only have one of these – and I add extra berries on top (makes me feel better about indulging!).
My gram used to make lemony pancakes that were thin like crepes. I completely forgot about them until now. Thanks for jogging my memory!

These look and sound so good! Love the idea of the lemon …
It’s a nice change of pace from the regular pancake – to me they taste like spring!
Luscious!
Very!
I really mus try this, they look so good. Many years ago while house sitting in Seattle I thought that I would try and make pancakes the result was a total failure just a blue acrid fog that permeated the whole house and a sink full of pans. Its high time I tried again and will be sure to let you know how it goes!
Thanks! I’m looking forward to hearing how it goes!
