1 cup pancake mix,
Juice of 1/2 lemon,

Whisk egg and water and lemon juice, then add to pancake mix and chia seeds. Cook over medium heat in a frying pan and enjoy! Serve with regular syrup or make a simple citrus syrup.
How to Make Simple Citrus Syrup
My citrus syrup recipe comes as the result of making candied citrus for the lemon cake I made last month. To make yours, boil 1 cup of granulated sugar and 3/4 cup of water in a sauce pan. Reduce to a simmer and cook thinly sliced lemons, limes, and oranges for 15-18 minutes. The limes cook the quickest, so you may want to take them out as early as 10 minutes. The leftover liquid is wonderful on pancakes, in salad dressing, or for part of a cocktail.
If you’re making candied citrus, let the fruit dry out on parchment paper overnight. Put them in more granulated sugar for a pretty look. For more details, check out this post on candied citrus by Our Best Bites.
There you have it. A beautiful and easy recipe for your next brunch.
