These pancakes, which get their bright flavour from lemon zest and strawberries, are a perfect reason to sit down to family breakfast. Feel free to swap in other berries, like blueberries or raspberries, if you don't have any strawberries on hand. And make a big batch so that you can freeze some for easy morning meals during the week. To freeze, arrange pancakes in a single layer on a wax paper–lined baking sheet and place in the freezer about 2 hours. Then transfer the pancakes to a zip-close plastic bag and freeze up to 2 months.
