GINGER PANCAKES WITH LEMON SAUCE

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, heat all sauce ingredients to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Keep warm over low heat.
• Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat or electric griddle to 350°F; grease with cooking spray, vegetable oil or shortening. (Surface is ready when a few drops of water sprinkled on it dance and disappear.)
• In medium bowl, beat Bisquick mix, milk, molasses, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and 1 egg with wire whisk or hand beater until well blended. For each pancake, pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle.
• Cook until bubbles break on surface. Turn; cook other sides 1 minute. Top each serving of pancakes with cube of cream cheese and sauce.

LEMON & GINGER PANCAKES

Steps:

• Separate the egg and whisk the egg whites with a large whisk until they hold a peak.
• Beat the egg yolk, cream cheese, ginger and lemon zest until smooth with the whisk (no need to wash off the egg white).
• Beat in the milk and poppy seeds until smooth.
• Sift over the flour and whisk into the egg yolk mixture - this will be stiff and very thick.
• Fold in the whisked egg white, ensuring there are no streaks of white remaining.
• Preheat a heavy based frying pan or griddle on a low to medium heat (pancakes cook much better a little lower and slower to prevent them burning). Brush with a flavourless oil or a little knob of butter and keep a little extra for cooking the rest of the batch.
• Spoon in about 2-3 tbsp worth of batter into the preheated pan and cook for a couple of minutes per side - the puffing will be most noticeable when you turn them to cook the second side. Don't overcrowd the pan and remove to a warmed plate until all of them are cooked.
• Serve warm with syrup from the stem ginger or Golden Syrup as liked. If you have leftovers, they make an excellent snack cold spread with a little butter.

GINGER PANCAKES WITH LEMON SAUCE

Steps:

• Beat all pancake ingredients in a large bowl with a mixer until smooth.
• Pour a scant 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle, grease as necessary.
• Bake until pancakes are dry around the edges. Turn and bake the other side.
• Remove cooked pancakes to a plate and serve with the lemon sauce on top.
• For the sauce, heat all sauce ingredients to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly.

LEMON DRIZZLE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk all of the pancake ingredients together in a large bowl until smooth.
• Put a small knob of butter in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-low heat and cook until melted and foaming. Pour 2 tbsp of the mixture into the pan and use the back of the spoon to shape into a 8-9cm round disc. Depending on the size of your pan you may be able to get 2 or 3 pancakes to cook at the same time. Cook for 2-3 mins on the first side, then flip over and cook for another 1 min on the other.
• Heat oven to its lowest setting. Stack the cooked pancakes on a baking tray and keep them warm in the oven while you cook the rest.
• Softly beat the double cream with the icing sugar using a whisk, then fold in half of the lemon curd. Mix the remaining curd with enough lemon juice to make it a drizzling consistency.
• To serve, stack the pancakes with layers of the whipped cream in between them, drizzle with lemon curd, and scatter with lemon zest to serve.

PANCAKES WITH LEMON AND SUGAR FOR SHROVE TUESDAY - PANCAKE DAY

Steps:

• You will also need a good solid 7 inch (18 cm) or 8 inch (20 cm) frying pan, some kitchen paper, greaseproof paper, a palette knife or flexible pan slice, and a ladle.
• Sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre with the back of a spoon then break in the eggs and pour in half the milk. Whisk together, gradually incorporating the flour to make a smooth thick batter. Beat thoroughly to remove any lumps, then stir in the rest of the milk.
• Pour the pancake batter into a jug or a bowl with a pouring lip.
• Now get the pan really hot, then turn the heat down to medium and, to start with, do a test pancake to see if you're using the correct amount of batter. (I find 2 tablespoons about right for a 7 inch (18 cm) pan and 3 tablespoons for an 8 inch (20 cm) pan.) Pancakes should always be cooked in butter.
• Melt 2 oz of butter in a pan, pour the excess in to a bowl; then add 2 tablespoons of the melted butter to the batter and whisk it inches.
• Pour the batter into the pan, tilting the pan as you pour, until the batter thinly coats the base. Cook over a moderate heat for 30 seconds to one minute until golden brown on the underside.
• Flip over the pancake with a palette knife, and cook the other side until it is golden brown. Slide the pancake out of the pan on to a plate, heat a little more oil or butter and cook the remaining pancakes one at a time in the same way.
• If preparing in advance, cook and stack the pancakes. Reheat in the microwave on Medium (750W) for about 2 minutes. Alternatively, heat the oven to 180C/gas 4/fan 160°C Wrap the pancakes in foil and warm them through in the oven for 10 minutes.
• TO SERVE.
• To serve, sprinkle each pancake with freshly squeezed lemon juice and caster sugar, fold in half, then in half again to form triangles, or else simply roll them up into long tubes. Serve sprinkled with a little more sugar and lemon juice and extra wedges of lemon.
• To FREEZE.
• Pancakes freeze VERY well, stacked as above then placed in freezer bags. If frozen, it's best to defrost the pancakes before reheating.

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Heat a griddle or large nonstick pan or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-low.
• Add the sugar to a large bowl, then finely grate the zest of the lemon directly over the sugar. Using your fingers, gently rub the zest into the sugar. Add the vanilla and whisk to evenly moisten. Add the eggs and whisk until foamy on top, then add the ricotta, buttermilk and butter, and whisk until well blended. Add the flour mixture and gently stir until no traces of flour remain.
• Generously butter the griddle, then drop a scant 1/4 cup batter onto it. Repeat, spacing the rounds at least an inch apart. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown and the tops are bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other sides are golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with more butter and the remaining batter. Serve warm, slathered with butter and blueberry syrup or other toppings if you'd like.

GINGERBREAD PANCAKES WITH WARM LEMON SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix gingerbread mix, water and egg in large bowl until batter is smooth.
• Heat griddle or large skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium heat. Pour batter onto griddle, using scant 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on tops, then turn to brown other sides.
• Meanwhile, beat pudding mix and milk in microwaveable bowl with whisk 2 min. Microwave on HIGH 1-1/2 min. or until heated through, stirring after 1 min. Serve pancakes with warm lemon sauce.
