How to Make Lemon Juice Pancakes

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of water, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice (from concentrate).
  2. Whisk vigorously until the eggs are fully incorporated and the mixture is light and frothy.
  3. Gradually add 2 cups of all-purpose flour, whisking gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake, leaving space between them.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings!
