Hot-off-the-griddle goodies are always a welcome sight put on the table...morning, noon and night. Instead of serving these palate-pleasing pancakes with ordinary maple syrup, make this extraordinary cherry sauce. You'll be thanked mmm-many times over!

Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

15 15 30

Ingredients

1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1-1/2 cups milk
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
CHERRY SAUCE:
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Whipped cream in a can

Directions

In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs; add milk, oil and lemon juice. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
Pour batter by 1/3 cupfuls onto a lightly greased hot griddle; turn when bubbles form on top of pancakes. Cook until the second side is golden brown.
For cherry sauce, combine pie filling, extract and nutmeg in a medium saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
To serve as shown in the photo, stack pancakes on serving plates and make a heart outline with whipped cream; spoon cherry sauce into heart. Yield: 4 servings (12 pancakes).
