Lemon Pancakes Recipes

LEMON PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• Whisk together the milk and lemon juice.
• In a liquid measuring cup or bowl whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, melted butter, sugar and lemon zest.
• Then whisk the milk mixture into the bowl with the eggs.
• Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
• Heat a griddle to 350F degrees or a frying pan to medium-low heat. Lightly grease with oil or non-stick cooking spray.
• Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle/pan and fry until you see a few air bubbles form. Flip and continue to fry on the second side until both sides are golden.
• Repeat with the rest of the batter.

LEMON-RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk water and baking soda together in a mixing bowl. Add ricotta cheese, lemon zest, vegetables oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth, breaking up lumps of cheese as you mix. Add melted butter, lemon juice, and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons self-rising flour. Whisk together, stirring until most of flour disappears into the batter.
• Let batter sit at room temperature about 15 minutes.
• Heat lightly greased cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Portion out 1/4 cup scoops of batter onto skillet (cook in batches). When bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges of the pancakes start to look dry (2 to 3 minutes), flip and cook other side until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a warm plate.

LEMON POPPY SEED PANCAKES

Steps:

• For the raspberry syrup: Combine the raspberries, maple syrup and lemon juice in a small pot and place over medium-low heat. Using the back of a fork, lightly mash the raspberries. Allow to heat through while you prepare the pancakes.
• For the pancakes: Stir the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking soda and salt together in a bowl. In a separate large bowl, mix the sour cream, lemon extract, food coloring, eggs and lemon zest until well combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just combined.
• Heat a griddle over medium-low heat. Smear the griddle with the butter. Drop the batter in 1/4-cup portions onto the griddle. Cook on the first side until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges are starting to brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until set in the middle, an additional minute or two. Remove the pancakes from the griddle and repeat with the remaining batter.
• Strain the raspberries from the syrup and discard the pulp.
• For serving: Serve the pancakes topped with additional butter, the raspberry syrup, canned whipped cream and fresh raspberries.

LEMON PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In another mixing bowl, whisk together milk, lemon juice, egg, oil, and vanilla until incorporated. Stir in the lemon zest.
• Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk just until combined. (batter will be slightly lumpy)
• Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle on medium-high heat. Spray with non-stick cooking spray or coat with butter.
• Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the buttered griddle or skillet and cook until bubbles begin to appear on the surface. Carefully flip and cook the opposite side until golden brown. Adjust and lower the heat if pancakes begin to burn.
• Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar, fresh whipped cream, and fresh blueberries!

ROMANTIC LEMON CHEESECAKE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Blend in the eggs.
• Stir in the flour, sugar, and 1 teaspoon of melted butter to make a batter.
• Heat remaining 1 teaspoon of butter on a griddle or in a heavy frying pan over medium heat.
• Drop the batter onto the griddle in silver dollar-sized dollops; cook until lightly golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn the pancakes over and cook an additional 2 minutes.
• To serve, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and drizzle with lemon juice. Serve with lemon wedges.

MARION CUNNINGHAM'S LEMON PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl, stir together the egg yolks, flour, cottage cheese, butter, sugar, salt and lemon zest until well mixed. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks.
• With large spoon or spatula, fold whites into yolk mixture, stirring gently until there are no yellow or white streaks.
• Heat skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly and spoon out about three large tablespoons of batter for each pancake. Cook slowly for about 1 1/2 minutes, then turn pancake over and cook for about 30 seconds. Keep pancakes warm in 250-degree oven until ready to serve.

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Heat a griddle or large nonstick pan or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-low.
• Add the sugar to a large bowl, then finely grate the zest of the lemon directly over the sugar. Using your fingers, gently rub the zest into the sugar. Add the vanilla and whisk to evenly moisten. Add the eggs and whisk until foamy on top, then add the ricotta, buttermilk and butter, and whisk until well blended. Add the flour mixture and gently stir until no traces of flour remain.
• Generously butter the griddle, then drop a scant 1/4 cup batter onto it. Repeat, spacing the rounds at least an inch apart. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown and the tops are bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other sides are golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with more butter and the remaining batter. Serve warm, slathered with butter and blueberry syrup or other toppings if you'd like.
