Notes

Substitutions:
If you don't have lemon, then you can simply replace the juice with apple cider vinegar (which also works with the baking powder to help if become light and fluffy) Add 1 tsp vanilla essence or use vanilla sugar to add more flavour. 
Serving:
Serve with a fruit compote, jam, or fresh berries. This recipe serves 2 as main course or 4 for dessert.
