Lemon Pancakes

Lemon Pancakes are light and delicious thanks to cottage cheese and egg whites and have the perfect hint of lemon.

I’m a pancake lover.  If there are pancakes on the menu, I order them and they are always my first choice for breakfast at home. 

Since becoming empty nesters, one of our favorite things to do is go out for breakfast on Saturday mornings.  Lately I have been playing around with flavored pancakes and trying to replicate some of my favorite restaurant pancakes. Last week it was lemon. Yes, lovely lemon pancakes!
