Author Notes

This is a fairly basic buttermilk pancake recipe, its the flavors that make it special. As with everything else the quality of the ingredients are what make it wonderful. Using best quality buttermilk, butter, and of course lemons will make a difference if you are lucky enough to find Meyer lemons, they will create a sublime finished product. I've used purchased lemon curd, but have included Alton Browns recipe, if you wish to go al the way with these. —Aliwaks

Thanks for comments!! Been trying to edit to amend lemon curd comment, but for some reason that page won't open for me :(, I did not in fact provide a recipe for it, and truthfully unless I usually use store bought, since mornings are not my best time of day. The referenced Alton Brown recipe works every time though.

I LOVE Meyer lemons, great recommendation. This is such a neat recipe, like a lemon poppysead muffin - but in pancake form.
