These fluffy and refreshing Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes Recipe bring a zesty twist to your breakfast with the perfect balance of citrus and crunch. A combination of lemon zest, lemon juice, and poppy seeds creates a unique flavor profile that will elevate your morning.
Ingredients for this Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes Recipe:
- 1 rounded tablespoon white sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (or more to taste)
- 5 teaspoons poppy seeds
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons butter, plus more for the pan
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- Lemon wedges (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, lemon zest, and poppy seeds.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and lemon juice. Melt the butter and add it to the wet ingredients, stirring until well combined.
- Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve: Stack the pancakes and serve with optional lemon wedges on the side for extra zest.
