Lemon Soufflé Pancakes

These pancakes are light, fluffy...and so easy to make!

This would make an excellent Valentine's Day breakfast.

PS- what do you think of our new dishes?

Here's what you need:

3/4 cup buttermilk

2 Eggs (separated)

3 tsp grated lemon zest

2 Tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 Tbsp melted butter

3/4 cup all purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

3 Tbsp sugar

pinch of salt

strawberries, honey and powdered sugar for toppings 

First- mix egg yolks, buttermilk, vanilla, lemon juice and lemon zest in a bowl. Add melted butter and mix well.

Second- Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Gradually pour buttermilk mixture into the well. Stir until dry mixture is well moistened. Be careful not to over mix.

Third- Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into buttermilk/flour mixture.

Fourth- Melt butter in skillet or griddle. Pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake.

Cook until bubbles form (about 2 to 3 minutes), then flip and cook the other side until golden.

Finally- Drizzle with a bit of honey, sprinkle with powdered sugar and top with fresh strawberries.

YUM!

We served ours with a side of applewood smoked bacon and Kir Royales (Chambord, Champagne, and lemon zest).

This is a perfect Valentine breakfast...or an anytime breakfast really!

Another delicious brunch in the books!

La Bonne Vie Y'all!
