• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 cups milk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 -2 teaspoon vegetable oil
• maple syrup, for serving

directions

1. Whisk the lemon juice and milk together in a medium bowl or large measuring cup; set aside to thicken.
2. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl to combine.
3. Whisk the egg and melted butter into the milk until combined.
4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients in the bowl; pour in the milk mixture and whisk very gently until just combined--a few lumps should remain; do not overmix.
5. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot, 3-5 minutes; add 1 tsp oil and brush to coat the skillet bottom evenly.
6. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto 3 spots on skillet.
7. Cook the pancakes until large bubbles begin to appear, 1 1/2-2 minutes.
8. Using a thin, wide spatula, flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on the second side, 1 1/2-2 minutes longer.
9. Serve immediately.
10. Repeat with the remaining batter, using remaining vegetable oil only if necessary.
