How to Make Meyer Lemon Poppy Seeds Pancakes

  1. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups buttermilk, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons Meyer lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Meyer lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. A few lumps are okay; do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon poppy seeds. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  6. While the batter rests, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons milk, and 1/2 tablespoon Meyer lemon juice until smooth. Adjust milk for desired consistency.
  7. Lightly grease the griddle or pan with cooking spray or butter.
  8. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  9. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  10. Serve immediately with butter, maple syrup, and/or the Meyer lemon glaze.
