These were wonderful pancakes and something different for my family. I could taste the lemon but it wasn't pucker-up lemony. It was just right. They had a light airy texture. I didn't use any syrup but sprinkled them with powdered sugar and fresh raspberries. Made a beautiful and much appreciated Father's Day breakfast. Thanks Nurse Di.
