Today’s pancake not only incorporates the light and refreshing flavor of lemon but the pancake it self is light and tender. These lemony light pancakes are thin and delicate pancakes. They have more a a sponge like quality to them rather than the usual cake like consistency you’d expect from a traditional pancake.

Serve them up with a dusting of powdered sugar along with some strawberry slices. then finish them off with a drizzle of syrup or honey. Serve these up for mom on Mother’s Day. She will love starting her day with this light and flavorful breakfast.
