Lemon, Lime, and Little C

Ever since Lil' C was wee little he has always preferred eating tart & sour foods. While other kids are licking sugary royal icing off of birthday cakes & cupcakes, my boy samples one bite and is done. It amazes me especially since S & I are huge sweet lovers.

Lately, I've been researching different recipes in search of the one dish that will become Lil' C's favorite dessert. You know that one dish you love so much you still ask your Mom to make even if your all grown up. Well, that's the one I'm looking for. As I searched the epicurious website, I found an interesting recipe for Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. Unfortunately, I didn't have lemons nor did I have ricotta. So I improvised and used limes and yogurt along with the classic Aunt Jemima pancake mix (yes, I'm too lazy to make home-made pancakes).

For those tart lovers out there here are some photos of our Citrus Lime pancakes...

My family always adds an egg and milk to the pancake batter. My Dad thinks it makes the pancakes healthier. I mixed the egg with yogurt before adding the pancake mix, zest, and lime juice. Look how the batter grows after its all mixed up.

And, voila... Lil' C's Lime pancakes. I wasn't quite sure what the results would be but everyone in my house loved them especially Lil' C. Despite loving maple syrup I actually thought these were better without it... ok, well maybe a little powder sugar sprinkled on top is the perfect compliment. A girls gotta have a little sugar. ;) Enjoy!
