A few years ago, I don't remember basil being used in these sweet dishes. It is wonderful how spices are used in so many more ways. These look delicious and I love the lemon zest syrup.

Catherine, Your pancakes as well as the photo...are beautiful! I love pancakes but my better half doesn't. I would have never thought of basil in the batter. Maybe I can get her to try it the next time we make blueberry waffles... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

Sometimes the combination of herbs and fruit can be magical...as it certainly is in these pancakes!
Joeshico says
I would have never thought of Basil being added to berries until last year when my daughter Pam canned jam with blueberries or strawberries with basil. They were the firstof her jams to go and most of the jam was used on pancakes.
Pencil Kitchen says
Basil... and berries. Hmmm... A dollop of yoghurt or cream cheese with these....
Sutapa says

I always love the look of US fluffy pancakes - so different to ours in the UK, which are more like crepes
