Lemon and Poppyseed Pancakes

These pancakes are light and fluffy, with lemon and poppy seeds for an extra boost of flavour and texture.

Everyone needs a go-to pancake recipe and this is mine. I often tailor it to suit my preferences and I absolutely love lemons, so decided to make a lemon and poppy seed version.

Nothing beats a warm stack of pancakes, piled high with golden syrup and butter. Here, however, I swapped the conventional for lemon curd and blueberries.

If you prefer a more conventional flavour, I suggest omitting the lemon zest and poppyseeds. Though it is always nice to switch things up a bit.

Method

Method: lemon and poppyseed pancakes

  1. Sour the milk: Mix the milk and lemon juice together and set aside for five minutes.
  2. Add the butter and egg: Add the melted butter and egg to the milk mixture.
  3. Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Place the remaining ingredients into a bowl and slowly add the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Rest the batter: Let the batter stand for 45 minutes.
  5. Cook the pancakes: Set a pan on medium heat and grease the pan with butter, pour a quarter cup of batter into the centre of the pan. Wait until you see little bubbles on the side facing up, then flip and cook for a minute or so more.
  6. Serve: Finish off as desired, usually with blueberries and lemon curd.
