So, weekends are my best days of the week as I love spending time with my family, especially with the kids. At this time of spring, what can be more beautiful than making pancakes with the rain falling outside and the grey skies? During this season too, nature blessed us with lemons and you can find lemon trees in almost any Portuguese garden with the golden yellow fruits all bringing promises of hope.
This simple yet delicious pancake has a zesty feel to it and the blueberry sauce is also made with pure lemon juice. With the right dash of the lemon juice, the sauce does not get tangy and so allows you to indulge yourself in this goodness.
This quick and easy pancake recipe is the way to go. With very few ingredients, you can be sure to start your weekend perfectly with no hassle. More interestingly, you can make this with no equipment and I mean no hand mixers. With the berries in season, I used fresh blueberries for the pancakes and for the blueberry sauce too. If you do not have fresh blueberries, you can substitute them with frozen blueberries or any other berries of your choice.
