Great Pancakes and Zesting Fun

At our house we eat pancakes! We eat pancakes at least twice a week. I make them from scratch trying out all sorts of recipes that I come across. I make pancakes with box mixes I add water, or milk. I add all sorts of yummies to the pancakes. I make them with blueberries, with strawberries, with bananas, or chocolate chips. BUT, these pancakes are the best I've made in a while. All thanks to my friend Jen!
The trick is buttermilk and lemon zest. I used regular pancake mix and to it I added buttermilk and lemon zest. The buttermilk is added in place of the water (as needed) and lemon zest, the more the better.
Seriously you can not screw this up just don't be cheep with the lemon zest! Now in case your not familiar with lemon zest, what it is, how to find it, let me assist you. Lemon zest is made using a zester and a lemon, get it. (See my zester in the picture) The key is the actual zester which is a really simple tool that just scrapes off the skin of citrus fruits. So if you don't have a zester do your self a favor and grab one. Adding the zest of a lemon or lime or orange to any recipes can really take your cooking and baking to the next level.
