Receta lemon poppy seed pancakes
one of my favorite childhood memories was when my mom would make breakfast for dinner. i know that may not sound like a big deal, but i loved the idea of breakfast for dinner. it was out of the ordinary. even now, when i have a hard day or just need a pick-me-up i make breakfast for dinner. it is comforting.
one of my favorite cookbooks is by Heidi Swanson - Cook 1.0: A Fresh Approach to the Vegetarian Kitchen. she delivers some truly wonderful recipes and the pancake section is amazing.
if you have read picky cook for any amount of time, you will already know my love of lemon. i know it may seem like a lot of zest in this recipe but trust me - it is perfect! the lemon flavor is strong but not over powering. the poppy seeds are little surprising pops in your mouth. the pancakes are moist and thick - just the way i like them.
i served these lemon poppy seed pancakes with macerated berries (any mix of berries would work). just add a bit of sugar to the berries and let them sit at room temp while you make the pancakes. another serving option would be raspberry syrup.
i hope you enjoy them as much as i do.
keep the pancakes warm on a baking sheet in a 200 degree oven until you are ready to serve.
lemon poppy seed pancakes
from cook 1.0 a fresh approach to the vegetarian kitchen
Makes about 12 large pancakes
- 2 cups unbleached ap (all-purpose) flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/3 cup sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup poppy seeds
- zest of 4 lemons
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- butter, to serve (and for pan)
To make the pancakes combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt in a large bowl. In another bowl the buttermilk, eggs, butter, lemon zest and poppy seeds. Add the wet to the dry. Stir all the ingredients until they are just combined. Don't worry if the batter is a bit lumpy, you don't want to over mix.
Heat your skillet, pan, or griddle to medium-hot and brush it with a bit of butter. Test for the right temperature. If a drop of water dropped onto the pan starts to dance, you are in the ballpark. Pour about 1/3 of a cup of batter into the skillet. Wait until the pancake bottom is deep golden in color, then flip with a spatula and cook the other side until golden and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.

breakfast and brunchbanana sour cream pancakes
i LOVE these banana sour cream pancakes. we have them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. even alex, who isn't a big pancake person, loves them.
berry mascarpone pancakes
these pancakes are so light and fluffy they almost don't seem like
pancakes. the mascarpone provides the soft texture that makes these
pancakes different than any other. i add lemon zest to the batter which
i find enhances the berries. the original recipe says to add copped
berries to the pancakes halfway through the cooking - but i found that
it didn't work very well - the berries overwhelmed the texture. i find
them to be best served with a berry syrup (i use blueberry) and then
sprinkled with some lovely fresh berries (i use raspberries or
blackberries). Read More
blackberry peach crumb topped muffins
these blackberry peach muffins remind me of those at the coffee shop
but better. the muffin is moist, thanks to the milk and sour cream. the
crumb topping gives the muffin the texture it needs. the lemon zest
brightens up the fruit. all in all - this is one excellent muffin.
blackberry and peach is definitely my new favorite fruit combination. Read More
buttermilk berry muffins
these buttermilk raspberry muffins are moist and full of fruit. the
orange zest brings the raspberry flavor to life. you could easily

use all of the berries for a mixed berry muffin! Read More
carrot cake pancakes with cinnamon honey butter
these carrot cake pancakes - oh dear god - they will blow your mind!
when i first saw the recipe i knew i had to try it because of alex's
great love of carrot cake but i honestly wasn't expecting much. i was
blown away. all the spices, orange zest and carrots provide the sweet
& spicy flavors that make these pancakes of another world. toasted
walnuts and the grated carrots provide wonderful texture to the light
and fluffy pancakes. the cinnamon honey butter to slather on top was
equally incredible. these would be perfect for breakfast for dinner or a
lazy weekend breakfast. Read More

lemon poppy seed muffins with lemon glaze
these muffins are spring in a muffin cup! i increased the amount of lemon zest and the intensity was perfect. the tiny little specks of blue from the poppy seeds and the vivid yellow flecks of lemon zest are too much to handle - so pretty. These lemon poppy seed muffins are incredibly moist and the lemon glaze is the right amount of sweetness to top them off. Read More

meyer lemon and fresh cranberry scones
i first saw this recipe over at smitten kitchen. i was at first taken aback by the fresh cranberries and figured i would use dried - but at the grocery store i decided to take Deb's advice and use the fresh. i am so glad i did! this was my first baking experience with fresh cranberry and it did not disappoint. as a matter of fact - the fresh cranberries MADE these scones.

this pumpkin muffin recipe is one of those staples - a must have for
every baker. it is quick and easy and i would bet you always have the
ingredients on hand. they are moist and wonderfully spicy. i added more

bring to recipes. Read More

raspberry crumb cake
the great one (ina garten) does it again. be really careful not to overbake. it happens quickly!
raspberry lemon muffins
the muffins themselves were nice - not too sweet and a hint of vanilla.
the lemon flavor came through loud and clear. biting into a whole
raspberry was a fun little surprise. i had thought of breaking them up
and swirling them through the batter - but i am glad i left them whole.
the only thing i would do differently is take them out a bit sooner -
they got a little dry on me. Read More

raspberry white chocolate scones
i decided this year i would make all my christmas presents. i made these for my brother's fiance. i used more berries than the recipe called for. they seemed fine when they went into the oven - i would even argue they looked damn good. i checked on them halfway through time - and oh my - it was not good. because i used too many berries - they started to "slide" over and just didn't look that great. even though they didn't look perfect - they tasted wonderful (thank god). alex now refers to these scones as "busted scones" - so without further ado - i give you busted scones a la picky cook.

steel cut oatmeala simple yet hearty recipe. it practically makes itself.whole grain pancakes with blueberry maple syrup
these whole grain pancakes are a meal you can feel good about eating thanks to the whole grains. they are a thinner pancake but they are light and fluffy. i was worried about the texture because of the whole wheat flour so i substituted a half cup of all purpose flour. i also added cinnamon because i just love that spice in pancakes. the highlight of the meal was the blueberry maple syrup. the blueberry flavor is bright and vivid and the maple syrup gives it that familiar flavor.
