These Fluffy Lemon Pancakes are light, airy, and bursting with zesty flavor, perfect for breakfast or brunch.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

These ingredients are simple and easy to find. I love that they can be mixed and matched with what you have on hand!

Instructions

  1. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown.
  5. Serve warm with toppings like syrup, berries, or whipped cream.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add more lemon zest or a splash of vanilla extract.
  • These pancakes freeze well; just reheat in a toaster or microwave.
