Strawberry Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes

Fresh strawberries, lemon zest and a few poppyseeds takes this classic buttermilk pancake to a whole new level of deliciousness. Pour the delectably fragrant batter onto the griddle and you have one amazing batch of pancakes. I like making my strawberry syrup because it's so fresh, and I can control the sweetness. For the finish, top your stack with fresh strawberries and strawberry syrup. These pancakes will have you saying, "Oh. My. So. Good!"

Directions

Strawberry Syrup

  1. Add diced and hulled strawberries, water, vanilla, and honey to a medium sauce pan and heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved.

    (A regular blender will work too. Transfer strawberries and pulse for 1 minute.)

Pancakes

  5. Lightly grease griddle and pour  ¼ cup batter onto griddle. When bubbles form, sprinkle with diced strawberries. Flip and cook 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned.
  6. Top pancakes with warm strawberry syrup, fresh strawberries and a dollop of whip cream. Eat. Smile.
