Ingredients

• all-purpose flour - 150 grams
• baking powder - 10 grams
• baking soda - 2 grams
• salt - 1 gram
• poppy seeds - 15 grams
• lemon zest - 1 tablespoon
• sugar - 30 grams
• buttermilk - 200 milliliters
• egg - 1 large
• melted butter - 30 grams
• vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, poppy seeds, and lemon zest until well combined.
2. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
