Oatmeal pancakes with lemon juice are a cozy and simple dish of Russian cuisine that evokes warm home breakfasts. Oats give the batter tenderness and lightness, while lemon juice adds a zesty freshness that balances the sweetness of sugar. Thanks to baking soda and flour, the pancakes turn out airy and soft, while olive oil adds a subtle aroma. This versatile dish can be served with jam or jelly as well as sour cream or honey. The lemon note makes them especially pleasant when paired with fruit additions. This recipe is perfect for those who want to try a classic breakfast in a new rendition with a light citrus note refreshing the taste.
