Step 1

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.

Step 2

In small bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until well combined. In medium bowl, whisk egg. Add grated lemon zest, milk, butter and vanilla and whisk until smooth.

Step 3

Add lemon juice and flour mixture to milk mixture and whisk until just combined. Batter will be slightly lumpy; this is OK. Do not overmix.

Step 4

Heat griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. In batches; spray griddle with nonstick spray, then pour batter by 1/4-cupfuls onto griddle. Cook 1 to 3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through (pancakes are ready to flip when surface of batter is covered in bubbles).

Step 5

Transfer cooked pancakes to rimmed baking sheet and transfer to oven to keep warm. Repeat process with remaining pancake batter. Serve pancakes with desired toppings.
