Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 2 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Poppy seeds
• 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray or butter

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-sized mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk, lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well-combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently just until the batter comes together, being careful not to overmix. It's okay if there are a few lumps.

Step 4

Fold in the poppy seeds until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5

Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

Step 6

Using a 1/4-cup measure, scoop the pancake batter onto the skillet, leaving space between each pancake.

Step 7

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 9

Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
