Ingredients

Flour – This recipe calls for all-purpose flour. However, you can also use self-rising flour! Simply omit the baking powder and salt in the recipe to swap it out.

Lemon Zest – Lemon zest from one lemon (about 2-3 Tablespoons) brings these pancakes to life by adding that bright, fresh lemon flavor!

Lemon Juice – The lemon juice in this recipe also adds to the spring flavors.

Eggs – These pancakes can be made with regular eggs or a vegan egg substitute!

Milk – Regular or whole milk works best, but any type of milk is great.

Vanilla – Vanilla helps balance the bright lemon flavors in this recipe.

Sugar – A little bit of sugar in these pancakes really takes them to another level!
