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
