Lemon Poppy Seed Pancake Recipe
Description
The Lemon Poppy Seed Pancake Recipe begins by infusing sugar with fresh lemon zest, adding a fragrant citrus note. Dry ingredients such as all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds are combined and mixed well. Wet ingredients include buttermilk, lemon extract, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, and an egg, which are whisked together before being folded into the dry mix until just combined, allowing lumps to remain for tenderness. Letting the batter rest for ten minutes helps hydration and texture development.
Cooked on a medium-heat griddle or skillet, pancakes form bubbles on the surface before flipping, ensuring they are cooked evenly with a moist center and a lightly crisp exterior. These pancakes carry a subtle lemon flavor balanced by the nutty crunch of poppy seeds and a gentle sweetness, making them a versatile breakfast or brunch option.
Serving with fresh fruit and syrup enhances their natural flavors and adds moisture. Their texture and flavor profile make them enjoyable plain or with additional toppings.

- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp sugar

Instructions
- In a large bowl, rub the lemon zest into the sugar, until fragrant. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds, and whisk to combine.
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, lemon extract, vanilla, oil, and egg.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined (it's okay if a few small lumps of flour remain). Let sit ten minutes.
