I made these for breakfast this morning along with a blackberry topping to go with SO yummy! I love cornmeal and I LOVE lemon pancakes so when I saw this recipe I knew I just had to make it! I’ll be making it again, thank you for the recipe!

I made these just now–they were pretty good! I omitted the lemon zest and used a squeeze of lemon juice instead, and replaced buttermilk w/ buttermilk substitute (milk+vinegar) They came out okay…They were pretty dry though? Are they supposed to be like that? :\ But overall they were pretty good they puffed up nicely!

Hi Tabitha! Yes, the flour measurement is correct: 1/2 cups flour. I’ve made many a flat pancake in my life, and the usual culprits are either over-beating the batter, or stale baking soda/powder. Hope that helps! (And that blueberry sauce you made sounds perfect with these!)

I made these tonight for dinner and every plate was cleared with not a spec of pancake left! I made a warm blueberry sauce for them and it was perfect for these pancakes.

But I need help! My pancakes were as flat as pancakes! I see the picture of your big fluffy ones, and mine did not look that way at all. I came back tonight to reread the recipe to see if I missed anything. I see the recipe says “1/2 cupS flour” – was there supposed to be a number ahead of the 1/2? The batter was really thin, and the resulting pancake very thin as a result, and I’m suspecting a flour misprint.

Can you help me out, kind folks?!

Still delicious regardless of how flat I made them!

Excellent! I’m gluten-free, so I just omitted the flour, using almond flour and 1/2 tsp xanthan gum.

I made these this morning and they were so delicious! My husband admitted later he was a little worried about the combo of lemon and pancakes, but he totally devoured them. Oh and for Anne about the buttermilk substitute – you can mix 1 c regular milk (mine is 1%) and 1 1/2 tsp of fresh lemon juice and let it sit for about 10 – 15 min. I use that as a substitute for buttermilk all the time.

Question – can I substitute 2% milk for the buttermilk? Will it still turn out? These look so good! Thank you!

I made these pancakes and, not only enjoyed them immensely, but got a “you’re a good cook” comment (I usually get a shrug and an eye-roll). Thank you- marvelous recipe!
