Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh berries, powdered sugar

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, eggs, melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
4. Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
5. Lightly grease the skillet with butter or cooking spray. Drop 1/4 cup portions of batter onto the skillet and spread slightly with the back of a spoon to form circles.
6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
7. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
8. Serve the Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes hot, topped with maple syrup, fresh berries, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar if desired.
9. Enjoy your delicious Sunday morning breakfast!
