For the third installment in my week of the lemon, I give you Blueberry Lemon Soufflé Pancakes. (Here are the other lemon affiliated posts in this series: Lemon Poppyseed Muffins, Almond Lemon Yogurt Cake (TWD), My Favorite Ultra Lemony Yogurt Cake, Whole Lemon Acidulated & Pasta Frolla Dough).

Normally, weekend breakfasts in our house are lox bagels (we stock up on lox and bagels whenever we look in on my parents in NY) or eggs, and I do try to keep it on the healthy side. It is rare that we eat pancakes, or French toast, or bacon. So when we do decide to eat some pancakes, we always walk away luxurious pancakes from scratch. My current favorite pancake recipe is for these lemon soufflé pancakes that I found here on My Recipes, notwithstanding the ridiculous preamble story that they wrote. Check it out if you want a good chuckle. Listen up individual ladies, according to My Recipes, this recipe is all you need to snatch yourself up a husband.

These pancakes are soufflé like because whipped egg whites are folded into the bruise and they fluff up while cooking in the pan. You can actually see them rise and puff up if you watch closely (provided you have not deflated the egg whites). These pancakes have a distinguished lemony freshness from the lemon zest and juice (any citrus flavor you like would probably vocation in these). This time I folded in fresh blueberries, which gave great bursts of sweetness. (I don’t think about I need to preach about adding fruit into pancakes). I have made these with and without fruit, and they are equally as delicious.

I also like to about to make a discovery up my maple syrup before I serve it. This is not necessary, but I think it adds a nice touch to a breakfast like this. Sometimes I add some unconventional or frozen fruit to the syrup and let it simmer to infuse it with some fruity flavor as well.

Six years ago, when I began employment on a cookbook of New York Times recipes, several readers wrote in about heavenly hots. There was no question: I had to try a programme with that name.

Although heavenly hots sound like a late-night cable offering, they’re nothing more salacious than pancakes. Once you let slip them, you’ll understand the name. They are so feathery, creamy, tangy — so heavenly — that you may find yourself unable to let them calm off before devouring them.

Heavenly hots clarify what’s wrong with other pancakes, namely that most of them are god-awful: doughy, grievous thuds in our bellies. You always think they’re a great idea until about 10 minutes after you eat them.

What makes the hots so seraphic is that they ignore all the classic ratios of flour to sugar to eggs (sorry, Michael Ruhlman!). They’re made with low-gluten solidify flour and just enough of it to lash the batter of sour cream, sugar and salt into fragile cakes.
