There’s a very short list of things that Josh will get out of bed for and I count these pancakes as one of them.
I purchased a bag of Bob’s Red Mill whole gain pancake mix a week ago knowing that some Sunday morning I could use them as get out of bed bribery.
My friend Ashley is what I would call a Jam Master. She even has a blog, United States of Jam for all of her jam making adventures. I like getting jam from Ashley for holidays and for no reason at all. This raspberry jam looks like a jar of melted rubies, if there could ever be such a thing. For me, raspberry jam needs to go with something lemony.
I mixed the pancaked batter according to Bob’s instruction and then added 1 T lemon zest and a little less than 1 T sugar.
I baked the pancakes in a cast iron skillet with a little butter and oil. When they were nice and fluffy with crisp edges I topped them with jam and little more butter and a sprinkling of powdered sugar.
These pancakes are a nice motivator for all the planning and prepping I do on Sunday’s. Grocery shopping, menu planning, lots of laundry and organization. I love when productive days start off slow, at the table, with pancakes and a glass of milk.
