It\u2019s no coincidence that the header on this page features lemon zest.<\/p>\n
My addiction to lemons is real, recognized and wholeheartedly accepted.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This latest episode in lemon mania comes from way back in the good ol\u2019 days (A.K.A. the \u201990s).<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re new to this particular recipe, let me introduce you to the lightest, fluffiest, most perfect pancakes ever.<\/p>\n
All other pancakes should really just stop trying.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I mean, it starts with lemon zesting, so it\u2019s automatically great.<\/p>\n Then you take that lemon zest and mix it with egg yolks, CHEESE and a teensy bit of sugar.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You might be wondering where the egg whites went. They\u2019re the magical part: beaten to stiff peaks and then folded into the batter.<\/p>\n GENIUS.<\/p>\n All the other pancakes are mostly flour and milk. These pancakes are all like\u00a0get that milk outta here \u2013 replace it with cheese!<\/em><\/p>\n Cut most of that flour out \u2013 don\u2019t need it!<\/em><\/p>\n Throw in more eggs though, and make all of that fat seem pillowly light through the magic of egg whites!<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n And when these pancakes are in my house, they also request to be drenched in homemade blueberry syrup.<\/p>\n These are some smart pancakes.<\/p>\n (This blueberry syrup, by the way, was made possible by my awesome mother who bought us a FREAKING VITAMIX FOR CHRISTMAS!!\u00a0So there may be a sharp increase in the amount of blended things on this site\u2026)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A close friend of my mom\u2019s first made these pancakes for me. She owned a B&B when I was little and these were in her regular rotation. It\u2019s easy to see why!<\/p>\n So thank you Trish for contributing to my lemon obsession in such a delicious way!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
