Part of that abundance for me during the holidays were one of my favorites, Almond Poppy Seed Pancakes. I made them twice and almost a third time (but we ran out of poppy seeds). They are everyone in my families favorite, including myself.

This time around I decided to switch it up a bit and make a lemon version. I have been meaning to try the lemon poppy seed pancakes ever since I first tried the almond variation. I’ve just been too hooked on the almond kind to ever give these a chance. It’s about time I did though because these pancakes are utterly irresistible. Seriously.

Good luck when you say you are going to limit yourself to one. That’s pretty much just impossible. These amazingly fluffy, perfectly golden, zesty lemon pancakes are loaded with poppy seeds and drenched in a vibrantly lemony syrup. When I want lemon poppy seed pancakes I’m not just going to stop at the pancakes, a delicious lemon syrup for pairing is a must. They’re just meant to be together, don’t make one and not the other because the pancakes just wouldn’t be the same without the syrup.
