Hi Deb!

I have been a Smitten Kitchen stalker for some time now, hiding in the shadows and making all your wonderful recipes but never commenting :) But after making these pancakes, I had to! I am hard to please when it comes to pancakes; Bisquick and the like just won’t cut it. They’re all to dense and dry so I was pleasantly surprised to make these and find a wonderful, airy base pancake recipe that I hope to modify depending on my mood. My boyfriend especially appreciated these as a breakfast after he finished a 24 hour shift (he’s a paramedic). Thanks for all the wonderful foods you bring into my kitchen!

I made these for Sunday brunch this morning. This recipe is AMAAAAZING! In fact, the pancake recipe is so good that I felt that the apples were totally unnecessary and actually upstaged it. I’ll save the apple recipe for when I’m using a blander pancake out of shmisquick. :P

I made them with cottage cheese and they are so good! They’re a little light and fluffy to support blueberries, but I had to try. Lemon just loves blueberry!

I just made these for Mother’s Day Brunch. I thought I’d be really smart and prep all the ingredients before hand, so that when we were ready to eat I’d just need to whip the eggs and cook. And it would’ve worked too, except my measuring cup with the flour got hidden behind another bowl and I completely forgot to add it in! I noticed the omission after the first batch went on the griddle, and added an approximated amount of flour to the remaining batter (tried to fold it in gently, but they still turned out a bit heavy). The funny part is, the flour-less ones were still really tasty (I just told everyone I was trying out a new low-carb recipe!)

On a side note, instead of the apples I made a warm blueberry compote to go on top, which was divine with the lemon (the apples just seemed to Fall/Wintery for a Mother’s Day brunch)

I like the new print format – very nice. The subtle website changes are very nice, in my opinion.

These are divine! (Not to mention, nothing like the normal heavy, unhealthy standard pancakes) We tried both with the apples and with boysenberry jam and really like the slight tartness of the jam. Plus they’re great cold! Thanks for the recipe!

I made these when I had company for the weekend and I wowed them :) The pancakes are so fluffy and the apples are sweet but still crunchy a bit.

I love SueJ comment about the use of cottage cheese. I am VERY VERY deathly allergic to Ricotta. There are so many recipes i want to make but don’t know what to substitute for the ricotta. ie:2 Tbsp of ricotta is called for in a recipe for cheese danish. what can i use or not use for this? i want to surprise my husband with them this weekend.

Hi! I made these today and they were a big hit:) I added 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and doubled the lemon zest…I think my lemons were weak, just couldn’t get enough of that light lemon flavor without adding more zest. they were fluffy and the apples were great alongside.
I love your website!
Thanks!
