Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes Recipes

SUNDAY MORNING LEMON POPPY SEED PANCAKES

Steps:

• Stir the milk, vinegar, and lemon juice together in a bowl; let stand 10 minutes to curdle. Whisk in egg, butter, and vanilla extract.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, poppy seeds, and lemon zest until well combined. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and whisk a few times until the batter is mostly free of lumps.
• 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.

LEMON POPPY SEED PANCAKES

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.

LEMON-POPPY SEED CLOUD PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, poppy seeds, salt, and lemon zest in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, lemon juice, egg yolks, butter, vanilla, and syrup. Whisk buttermilk mixture into flour mixture until just combined (do not overmix).
• Beat egg whites with a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Stir one-third of egg whites into batter. Gently fold in remaining egg whites (do not overmix; streaks of whites should be visible).
• Preheat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium; coat with a thin layer of cooking spray. Spoon 1/3 cup batter per pancake onto griddle. Cook, undisturbed, until bubbles appear on top and edges are set, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until puffed and golden, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet; keep warm in a 225 degrees oven until ready to serve.
• Serve, with butter, ricotta, blueberries, and more syrup.

LEMON-POPPY SEED RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a large bowl, mix together ricotta, milk, egg yolks, and vanilla. Add the flour mixture to the cheese mixture and mix until batter is just combined. Stir in lemon zest and poppy seeds.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites until stiff. Gently fold egg whites into batter.
• Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; brush surface with butter. Working in batches, ladle 1/3 cup batter for each pancake on griddle, leaving space as they will spread. Cook until golden and top begins to bubble, 3 to 4 minutes. Gently turn and continue cooking until bottoms are light brown, 3 to 4 minutes more. Serve immediately with ricotta and honey syrup.
