How to make Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes:

Combine milk and vinegar in a small bowl and whisk together. This makes homemade buttermilk. Set it aside for 5 minutes to sour. Click for a whisk.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix together.

Next, whisk egg, butter, vanilla, and lemon juice into the homemade buttermilk.

Pour the wet ingredients into 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 (180 C). Click for a 16 inch electric skillet.

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.
