or... Meyer Lemon Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes
(recipe courtesy of lauren anderson)

Makes roughly 12 pancakes, give or take.

Ingredients:

• 2 Large Eggs
• 2c Buttermilk
• 1/4c vegetable oil
• 2c self-rising flour
• 2T sugar
• 1/2t baking soda
• zest of 1 meyer lemon (lauren's addition)
• 1 pint fresh blueberries (lauren's addition)

Directions:

1. Heat griddle or non-stick skillet to medium-high heat (375 degrees). Spray lightly with nonstick spray
2. Beat eggs in large bowl with fork or whisk. Add buttermilk and oil and stir to combine. In separate bowl, mix dry ingredients. Add to buttermilk mixture; stir just until large lumps disappear. (its ok if there are still small lumps in the batter) Stir in lemon zest. Let rest for at least 15 minutes.
   
3. Pour about 1/4c batter onto hot skillet. Sprinkle a few blueberries on top of pancake at this point. Cook 1-2 minutes until bubbles form around edges and bottom has set enough to flip. Turn, cook another 1-2 minutes or until golden. (you may need to adjust heat and time so not to burn the pancakes.) And remember.. usually the first one is a throwaway anyway.

So some other variations you could do... Well thats for you to discover! I'm sure Lindsay will just put chocolate chips in the design of a smiley face on hers and wish she was 6 years old again.
