Lemon Pancakes

by - 2:19 PM


Bright and cheery lemon pancakes, made with 3 ingredients or less, to help you slay the brunch game amongst your friends and family. Or slay your diet if you plan on keeping them all to yourself. The focus is on the poppy seed sauce; made with more ingredients than the pancakes themselves. Naturally, drool inducing.You'll want extra, so double up on the measurements. 


It brings this recipe together, adds the vibrancy and texture. Do yourself a favor and try it, even if it's not your thing. Experimenting with other ways to crown your pancake stacks with something other than syrup is life-enhancing. Truuuust me!





If you're impatient, you'll burn a few pancakes before you get the technique down. The best strategy for the golden, fluffy, restaurant quality is to cook them on medium-low heat. Letting the batter slowly rise. Just pour the batter, shake the pan (you know, to evenly disperse the batter) then just let it do it's thing. When you start to see bubbles, and the edges are firm, then flip. For these, I recommend about 2 minutes per side. If you're like me and can't master a backflip to save your life then at least you can master pancake flipping and still feel like you've done accomplished a great deal.
