Read...


This recipe for Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes has been tantalizing me all week.  I adapted it from the Joy of Cooking.
INGREDIENTS
    dry ingredients
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
    wet ingredients
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • zest of two lemons
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 3 Tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup poppy seeds
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Whisk together the dry ingredients.
  2. In a separate bowl, blend the wet ingredients together and fold in the poppy seeds.
  3. Add the wet to the dry and mix just until combined, don't over mix, you want your pancakes to be fluffy! Lumps are fine.
  4. Cook on a lightly greased griddle until lightly golden on both sides.
  5. Serve hot with maple syrup.
