Sunday Dinner at Sassy's House ~ Lemon Pancakes

I had been craving pancakes, but not wanting chocolate chip or plain pancakes, and I did not have any blueberries.  What to do?  Check the refrigerator ... a lemon!

I mixed up enough batter for six pancakes (no, I did not eat them all at one meal!), and added 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel.  Maple syrup did not seem right on the pancakes, so I spread apricot preserves on them.  Really good!

Next time I make pancakes, I will use orange juice and rind.

What do you add to your pancakes?

sounds good
Sassy *bacon makes me happy* Cat Jan 31, 2013, 1:50am UTC
Thanks
Angela M. Jan 30, 2013, 4:58pm UTC
oh those would have been good with icing like you put on cinnamon rolls
Sassy *bacon makes me happy* Cat Jan 31, 2013, 1:51am UTC
Yeah, I didn't think of that.
John S. (arizona) Jan 30, 2013, 5:03pm UTC
That's interesting, never thought of that before, and the orange idea either. Jelly (preserves/jam for me) is good on pancakes... marmalade. I often like to eat pancakes later plain, sort of like having a cookie and this may be good for doing that. Don't tell anybody, but sometimes dip the pancake in the sugar bowl as I go along to give it a sweet kick...shhhh... meow.
John S. (arizona) Jan 30, 2013, 5:07pm UTC
Oh, as far as adding stuff, we like to shred(grate?) apples into our mix sometimes too.
Sassy *bacon makes me happy* Cat Jan 31, 2013, 1:58am UTC
I won't tell a soul! Umm, how much is it worth to you for me to keep my big mouth shut? hahah! just kidding!

A sugar-coated pancake cookie. I like that idea! Shredded apples are a great idea, too. With cinnamon?
John S. (arizona) Jan 31, 2013, 12:07pm UTC
Yeah, just dip a corner of the pancake as I munch along, ha! Sure, add some cinnamon... sometimes we do a touch, sometimes not when doing that. Also have substituted some of that applesauce w/cinnamon (Motts?) in it and using less water/milk in the mix... ;-)
You also reminded me of this post I wrote back in 2006 on pancakes... haven't done this in a while...

I use what I have on hand, so each time the pancakes are different. I like cinnamon in mine....
Sassy *bacon makes me happy* Cat Jan 31, 2013, 2:02am UTC
Cinnamon sounds good.
Debbie W. Jan 30, 2013, 7:22pm UTC
Great ideas! I don't make pancakes very often, but I think I would like to try this!
Sassy *bacon makes me happy* Cat Jan 31, 2013, 2:03am UTC
Thanks! They reminded me of lemon cake or muffins.
Madame Donna C. Jan 30, 2013, 7:26pm UTC
They sound delightful.
Sassy *bacon makes me happy* Cat Jan 31, 2013, 2:05am UTC
Thank you!
Sophie S. Jan 30, 2013, 7:55pm UTC
Hmm, I'd totally eat those.
Sassy *bacon makes me happy* Cat Jan 31, 2013, 2:06am UTC
Pancakes are such an easy meal to make!
Nancy S. Jan 30, 2013, 7:59pm UTC
Hmm. That would be an interesting change.
Sassy *bacon makes me happy* Cat Jan 31, 2013, 2:10am UTC
I was surprised at how good they turned out.
William M. Jan 30, 2013, 8:15pm UTC
Great trying new things.
Sassy *bacon makes me happy* Cat Jan 31, 2013, 2:11am UTC
Yep, sometimes it turns out good, other times not so good.
RedBird. B. Jan 30, 2013, 8:22pm UTC
These look Great Sassy! Sometimes I add fresh Blueberries to my Pancakes!~
Sassy *bacon makes me happy* Cat Jan 31, 2013, 2:14am UTC
Thank you! I just luv blueberries in pancakes. I have tried red raspberries, but the batter that gets inside the berries does not cook.
RedBird. B. Jan 31, 2013, 8:59am UTC
I will keep that in mind!~
JoAnn C. Jan 30, 2013, 9:42pm UTC
I love pancakes for dinner. I love lemon. I would definitely love these.
Sassy *bacon makes me happy* Cat Jan 31, 2013, 2:16am UTC
I hope you try lemon pancakes. I was surprised at how good they did turn out. Replace 2 tablespoons of the water (or milk) in the pancake recipe with the lemon juice.
Pamela Marks Jan 30, 2013, 9:54pm UTC
we change up our batter often
Sassy *bacon makes me happy* Cat Jan 31, 2013, 2:17am UTC
It makes eating pancakes fun!
Pamela Marks Jan 31, 2013, 11:39pm UTC
sure does
Heidi S. Jan 30, 2013, 10:00pm UTC
Sounds good! The latest thing I mixed in was applesauce....
Sassy *bacon makes me happy* Cat Jan 31, 2013, 2:20am UTC
Applesauce sounds great in pancakes. I have to thank you! It was the post you did about blueberry pancakes that started me on my pancake journey. And a delicious journey it has been! ;-)
Heidi S. Jan 31, 2013, 10:59am UTC
Aw, shucks, Sassy - how sweet!

The applesauce makes them very moist. I would never have thought to try citrus :)
The Red Headed Witch of Gather G. Jan 31, 2013, 5:50pm UTC
you're so creative in the kitchen! these sounds delicious!
Orange juice and the rind is good on pancakes. So is using apple sauce...it goes better with maple syrup. I like trying pancakes all different ways. I have even had sour cream pancakes that tasted wonderful.
Tory H. Feb 4, 2013, 11:16am UTC
Neat! I'll have to try that sometime!
Shelbia C. Feb 6, 2013, 2:06am UTC
Interesting addition.
Jennifer F. Feb 6, 2013, 4:59pm UTC
About twice a month, I get a terrible craving for pancakes for dinner. I almost always make blueberry pancakes. Lemon ones sound great - lemon and blueberry together sound great too. Sometimes I use kefir (the cultured dairy product that has bubbles in it) instead of buttermilk - that really gives the pancakes a nice light and fluffy texture (because kefir has natural yeasts).
