  1. Great Sunday morning brunch item. Loved the rhubarb sauce with it. Thanks for posting!
     
  2. The pancakes tasted really good. The only thing I would recommend or change is to put a little bit of syrup on the rhubarb sauce at the table because it was a bit too tart for my family's taste. Also use only regular maple syrup if you want to enjoy the lemon flavor of the pancakes. Berry jam also tastes good on them.
     
  3. Light, fluffy pancakes even with gf mix in place of flour! I had only 1 egg, so thirded the recipe and came out with 6 4" cakes. I was a little shy on the lemon juice, afraid it might overpower, but it didn't at all. Makes almost buttermilk of the ricotta, then adds a dainty flavor. Served with just a little plain yogurt and syrup or lingonberries. Light but filling- my mother got away (amazing restraint there) with eating just two. Thanks!
     
  4. Have made these pancakes a few times since last summer and they are my favourite in the whole world. They have a light, lemony flavour and I love ricotta cheese so a big plus there. Have served them for breakfast and for a light supper too..they are wonderful with syrup and fruit in place of the rhubarb sauce, depending on mood..just an awesome find...thank you for posting.

<p> <p> <p>Greetings from the palm of the Mitten State! I'm a 40-somthing gal with an awesome husband, Todd, and step-son, David. And I had the great privilege to be mom to the world's best cat, Bentley, for almost 12 years. As of 3/10/09 he's now free from all the ailments that plagued his past few years and is now a soft and gentle spirit who will be with me always. He was my best friend and the first real love of my life and leaves a cat-shaped hole in life.</p> <p><span style=color: #000000;>February 4, 2010, 2 new kitties joined our family.&nbsp; Nick and Nate were adopted from our local humane society and fill our home with purrs and laughter and lots of fur.&nbsp; We're lucky to have these two sweet kitty boys with us.</span></p> </p> <p>I'm&nbsp;a certified medical coder&nbsp;but currently enjoying being a stay-at-home cat mom.&nbsp; In past work lives I've been&nbsp;a corporate travel consultant, an auto claim assistant, a loan clerk, a secretary and an usher.<br /><br />I like to cook and LOVE to bake. It's great to share the gift of good food with my sweet wonderful husband, family and friends and co-workers. And I try to enter a couple different baked goods in my county fair each year.<br /><br />When I'm not working in the kitchen I enjoy reading, walking, scrapbooking, genealogy, and visiting with family and friends. I also love animals, and was a cat care volunteer at a local shelter for many years.</p> <p>&nbsp;<br /><br />R?E'S STAR RATINGS (effective for 2007 ratings and beyond) <br />5 -- Amazing! Incredible! Want to eat it or drink it all the time! Obviously this wowed us. Maybe it?s too decadent to make very often, but we can dream. <br /><br />4 -- Great! We loved it and will probably be having this frequently. <br /><br />3 -- Good . We liked it and might have it again, possibly with some changes. <br /><br />2 -- Passable. We ate it but won?t eat any leftovers and won?t be making this again, at least not as written. This will probably be due most often to one flavor being too strong. <br /><br />1 -- Inedible. There?s a critical error in the recipe. <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/berriesblinkie.gif alt=Image hosted by Photobucket.com /> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Animation1.gif alt=Image hosted by Photobucket.com /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/purplechefhat.gif alt=Image hosted by Photobucket.com /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/chef3.jpg alt=Image hosted by Photobucket.com /> <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/beartag_1_1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/adopted_1_1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/totmtaggame-1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z205/jubespage/stacky5.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/CookathonforKarensticker.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/vjuhl/MEPcookathon.jpg alt= /></p> </p>
