Ingredients

  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 cup Poppyseeds
  • 1 1/2 cups Buttermilk
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/3 cup Lemon Juice
  • Zest from 1 1/2 Lemons
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter (melted)
  • As Needed Unsalted Butter (for cooking)
  • 1 recipe Strawberry Mint Compote (link to recipe in notes)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and poppyseeds. Whisk to remove any clumps and to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, lemon zest, lemon juice, and melted butter. Whisk until everything is incorporated.
  • Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. It is okay to for your batter to be a little lumpy, as you do not want to over-mix it.
  • Heat a pan or griddle over medium heat. Once the pan has heated, melt a pat of butter on the pan, enough to coat the bottom of it.
  • When the butter has melted, pour the batter (about 1/4 cup dollops) onto the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes or until you see bubbles forming on the surface of the batter. Flip the pancakes over and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Once the pancakes have cooked, remove them from the pan and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

*Link to Strawberry Mint Compote
*This recipe makes 18-20 pancakes if using 1/4 cup scoop.
*If you want to keep your pancakes warm while continuing to cook the remaining batter, transfer them onto a wire rack lined over a sheet tray, and place it into a preheated 200˚F oven.
