Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds

  • 1 tbsp sugar

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp baking soda

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ¾ cup buttermilk

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tbsp melted butter (plus more for cooking)

  • 1 tbsp lemon zest (about 1 lemon)

  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Directions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, poppy seeds, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, melted butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently until just combined — do not overmix.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
  • Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking.
  • You can substitute plain yogurt or milk with a splash of vinegar for buttermilk.
  • Great with a dollop of lemon curd or a dusting of powdered sugar.
