Ingredients

• 100g all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• Pinch of baking soda
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 125–150g plain yogurt
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 tablespoon neutral oil or melted butter

Optional Toppings

• Powdered sugar
• Fresh lemon slices
• Maple syrup
• Honey
• Berry compote
• Whipped cream

How to Make Lemon Pancakes

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and baking soda.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and oil until smooth.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. A few small lumps are fine, so avoid overmixing.

Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter.

Scoop about 1/3 cup of batter for each pancake. Cover with a lid and cook for about 2 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Serve warm with powdered sugar, lemon slices, and your favorite toppings.

Tips for the Best Pancakes

• Don’t skip the lemon zest for the best flavor.
• Cover the pan while cooking for taller, fluffier pancakes.
• Cook over medium-low heat so the pancakes cook evenly.
• Add a little lemon extract for stronger lemon flavor.

Conclusion

These Lemon Pancakes are soft, fluffy, and perfect for a fresh homemade breakfast. With simple ingredients and bright lemon flavor, they’re a delicious way to start the day.
