For a nice variation from maple syrup and berries and stuff, this recipe includes honey-butter, which works real well with the lemon zest and overall flavor combinations

Honey Butter:

Melt one stick of butter, and add 1/2 cup of honey slowly while whipping the mixture. When it is smooth and opaque, it's done! Let it cool.

Pancakes:

3 Cups unbleached White Flour
1 Cup Quick (not instant) Oatmeal
1 Cup Sour Cream
5 Eggs
4 Tablespoons Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
4 Tablespoons Poppy Seeds
Zest of 2 Lemons
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla powder or extract
1 Teaspoon Lemon Oil (for cooking...not furniture polish!)
1 1/2 Cup Water
1 1/2 Cup Milk

Mix all the dry ingredients first. Add the eggs, sour cream, milk, water and beat until fully mixed. Add the lemon zest, lemon oil and poppy seeds. Mix thoroughly. After batter has sat for 30 minutes, add more liquid if necessary (the grains absorb liquid quickly). Spoon batter on buttered grill and cook until bubbles form on top; turn and brown on other side. Serve with the Honey-butter.
