A FEW THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT THIS RECIPE:

  • This recipe starts with a lemon cake mix, which I love! As I’ve said before many times, I love that you know what you’re getting with a cake mix. When you use a cake mix, you know you’ll get a soft, moist, and flavorful result that you can recreate again and again.
  • I used a Duncan Hines 15.25 ounce Lemon Supreme cake mix. You can use a different brand, but be aware that cake mixes do vary slightly in volume. There shouldn’t be a huge difference, but feel free to add a little extra milk to your batter if you use a bigger cake mix and the batter seems too thick.
  • This strawberry sauce is an old family recipe that my mom has made for many years. We LOVE eating it on top of pancakes and waffles! You could easily swap out the strawberries for blueberries or blackberries.

FOR THE STRAWBERRY SYRUP

Instructions

  1. Preheat the griddle to medium heat (I always recommend an electric griddle for pancakes).
