Steps:

• For the raspberry syrup: Combine the raspberries, maple syrup and lemon juice in a small pot and place over medium-low heat. Using the back of a fork, lightly mash the raspberries. Allow to heat through while you prepare the pancakes.
• For the pancakes: Stir the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking soda and salt together in a bowl. In a separate large bowl, mix the sour cream, lemon extract, food coloring, eggs and lemon zest until well combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just combined.
• Heat a griddle over medium-low heat. Smear the griddle with the butter. Drop the batter in 1/4-cup portions onto the griddle. Cook on the first side until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges are starting to brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until set in the middle, an additional minute or two. Remove the pancakes from the griddle and repeat with the remaining batter.
• Strain the raspberries from the syrup and discard the pulp.
• For serving: Serve the pancakes topped with additional butter, the raspberry syrup, canned whipped cream and fresh raspberries.

• Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake into the skillet and cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes over with a spatula and brown the other side, about 2 more minutes.
