Sweetheart Pancakes

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!

4 ServingsPrep/Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients

1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

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
