Notes

  • You can add more sugar if you prefer sweeter pancakes, however since they are served with maple syrup or even honey, they will be sweet enough.
  • Add extra lemon juice if you want more lemon flavor, but I think there is sufficient lemon flavor.
  • What to serve it with? Add your favorite maple syrup, drizzle with honey or sprinkle with powdered sugar. Add some fresh fruits or top it with jam.
