I love pancakes and this one is delicious, simply delicious. Really enjoyed the zest and vanilla combo in the pancake. It was perfect, soft, tender and very flavorful. Perfect served with whipped cream and lightly sweetened fresh strawberries. I scaled down for one, it worked perfectly. Thanks for sharing another wonderful recipe.
