This is probably my favorite pancake recipe that I’ve recently tried. Buttery, fluffy, with a slight hint of lemon flavor, they will really brightened up your morning and set a great mood for the rest of the day! I used slightly modified recipe found here. Instead of buttermilk, I actually used plain kefir. I made the batter the night before as recommended and added about 1/2 cup of 2% milk to it in the morning as it seemed too thick.
Ingredients (for 2-4 servings)
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups buttermilk or kefir
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup lemon juice, fresh
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
Directions
1. Make the batter a few hours in advance, ideally, the night before and refrigerate overnight. In a large bowl, combine all the powder ingredients together. In a separate bowl, combine eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, lemon juice and zest and add to the powder ingredients. Stir everything and set aside.
2. Cook pancakes in batches (I used about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake) on medium heat on a slightly greased pan. They’re usually golden brown just under 2-3 minutes per side.
Enjoy!
