How to make Poppy Seed lemon Pancakes
Combine milk and vinegar in a small bowl and whisk together. This makes homemade buttermilk. Set it aside for 5 minutes to sour.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix together.
Next, whisk egg, butter, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice into the homemade buttermilk.
Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and whisk together until just combined. Don’t over-mix.
Fold in the poppy seeds.
Preheat an electric skillet to 350 degrees F.
Coat the skillet with cooking oil.
Pour four equal circles of batter (about 1/4 cup each) onto the skillet and cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the bottom is golden brown about 3 minutes.
Flip them over gently with a spatula and cook until the second side is golden brown about 2 minutes.
Serve with a pat of butter and some maple syrup if desired.
