These lemon and honey pancakes are easy to make and taste like sunshine. The delicious flavour comes from fresh lemon juice and our Kānuka Honey. Bright, fluffy and fresh – sure to put a smile on anyone’s face.
Ingredients
- 1½ cup milk
- 2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 cup flour
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tsp. poppy seeds
- ¼ cup MVH Kānuka Honey
- 2 Tbsp. butter, melted (plus more for greasing the pan)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla bean extract
Method
- In a medium bowl, mix together the milk and lemon juice. Set aside for 10 minutes until slightly curdled.
- In a large bowl, add the flour, lemon zest, baking powder, baking soda, salt and poppy seeds. Whisk together.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, add the honey and butter and heat for 20-30 seconds, or until melted. Add to the milk mixture with the eggs and vanilla. Whisk until combined.
- Pour into the dry ingredients and fold together with a spatula until just combined.
- Preheat a frying pan over a medium heat. Melt ½ Tbsp. butter and spread across the pan. Pour ¼ cup of the pancake mixture into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with all of the mixture.
- Serve immediately. We whipped some creme fraiche with honey to top.
