Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1.25 cups buttermilk
• 1 tablespoons lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 whole large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 2 cups mixed fresh berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, lemon zest, lemon juice, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or a cooking spray.

Step 5

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 6

To prepare the berry topping, combine the fresh berries, honey, and water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries start to break down and create a syrupy consistency.

Step 7

Serve the warm pancakes stacked on plates. Spoon the berry topping over the pancakes. Optionally, sprinkle with powdered sugar for garnish.

Step 8

Enjoy your Lemon Pancakes with Berry Topping!
