How to Make Little Lemon Pancakes

  1. Whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, ½ cup club soda, 1 large egg yolk, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
  3. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. In a clean bowl, beat 1 large egg white with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined.
  6. Lightly spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
  7. Drop the batter by rounded tablespoons onto the hot skillet, leaving space between each pancake.
  8. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip once only.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
