Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice
  • ½ tsp Baking soda
  • ½ tsp Cornstarch
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 1 Large egg at room temperature
  • ¼ cup Butter melted
  • ¾ cup Milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine your dry ingredients--the flour, sugar, baking soda, corn starch and salt. Mix well. Then in a separate medium bowl whisk together the lemon juice, egg, milk, melted butter and vanilla.
  • Combine the wet ingredients to the dry flour mixture and mix until they’re combined, making sure to get the lumps out until smooth. Be sure not to over mix though!
  • You will heat a nonstick griddle to medium-low heat. Or you can also use a cast iron skillet on the stove. Add a small pat of butter to the heated surface or a little olive oil. I like to take a cold stick of butter and just wipe the pan with a thin layer.
  • Once the butter has melted, you'll take ¼ cup of the pancake mixture and pour it directly onto the melted butter. Evenly cooking a few at a time as there is room in your pan.
  • Let the pancake cook until the top is covered with air bubbles and the edges of the pancake are golden brown. Then flip the pancake and cook until the bottom is golden brown.
