Instructions
 

Prepare the Dry Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and poppy seeds.

Combine the Wet Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest (if using), and melted butter until well combined.

Combine Wet and Dry

  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Rest the Batter

  • Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in fluffier pancakes.

Cook the Pancakes

  • Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.

Flip and Finish

  • Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as honey, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes:

  • For extra fluffy pancakes, use buttermilk instead of regular milk.
  • Don't overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing will result in tough pancakes.
  • If your batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk until you reach the desired consistency.
  • For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
