Fluffy Lemon Pancakes Light, fresh, and ready in just a few minutes

Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula or whisk, stir just until combined.
It’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy — overmixing will make the pancakes tough instead of tender.

Step 4: Rest the Batter (Optional but Recommended)

Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax and the leavening agents to activate, resulting in extra fluffy pancakes.

Step 5: Heat the Pan

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or a small drizzle of oil.
You’ll know it’s ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates almost immediately.

Step 6: Cook the Pancakes

Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot skillet.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until small bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges start to look set.
Flip gently and cook for another 1–2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.

Tip: Adjust the heat as needed — if the pancakes brown too quickly, lower the temperature slightly.

Step 7: Serve Warm and Fresh

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover them lightly with foil to keep warm while you finish the rest of the batch.

Serve immediately with your favorite toppings:

• A drizzle of warm maple syrup
• A dusting of powdered sugar
• A spoonful of lemon curd or Greek yogurt
• A handful of fresh blueberries or raspberries

🌞 Tips for Perfect Lemon Pancakes

1. Use fresh lemon juice and zest – It makes all the difference in flavor and fragrance.
2. Don’t overmix – A few lumps in the batter mean fluffier pancakes.
3. Keep pancakes warm – Place them in a 200°F (90°C) oven while cooking the rest.
4. Try add-ins – Poppy seeds, white chocolate chips, or blueberries pair wonderfully with lemon.
