Description
A recipe for light and fluffy pancakes flavored with fresh lemon zest and juice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, lemon extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. A few lumps are fine.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, make a simple lemon glaze using powdered sugar and lemon juice to drizzle on top.
- If you prefer a tangier flavor, increase the lemon zest to 2 teaspoons.
