In a large mixing bowl add the heavy cream, vanilla and 1tbsp. of lemon juice. Whip on high with a hand mixer, turning the bowl at an angle sometimes while whipping. Whip until stiff peaks form and it looks as whip cream should. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Pancakes
In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Make a well or hole in the bowl and pour in the milk, egg, the lemon juice, half of the lemon zest and melted butter into the middle. Stir until smooth but do not over mix.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or pan on med-high heat. With a soup ladle almost full, scoop the batter onto the cooking surface spreading it into a even circle. I cook 2-3 at a time. Cook for 2 minutes, flip and 2 minutes on that side or until golden brown.
Stack on a plate while cooking and cover with foil to keep warm.
When you are ready to serve, add a scoop of fresh cream, top with lemon zest, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, and maple syrup.
