Light and fluffy lemon pancakes that deliver a delightful burst of citrus flavor, perfect for brunch or a sweet breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs (separated)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients, separating the egg yolks from the egg whites.
- In the bowl with egg yolks, mix in milk, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry mix until just a few lumps remain.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into the batter.
- Preheat your non-stick skillet over medium heat, adding a small amount of butter or oil.
- Pour batter onto the skillet, about 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve warm with syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.
