Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking pan or pancake mold
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • Toothpick
  • Spatula

Ingredients

  • 1 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup wheat flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ cup icing sugar
  • 1 large egg white
  • q.s. water optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a pancake mold.
  • Cream together the melted butter and 1 cup of sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the two large eggs and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the mixture; mix well.
  • In another bowl, mix the wheat flour, salt, and baking powder, then slowly fold into the wet mixture, alternating with the milk.
  • Pour the batter into the greased pancake mold and bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • While the pancake cools, mix the remaining sugar with lemon juice and heat slightly to dissolve the sugar. Poke holes in the pancake and pour the syrup over it.
  • For the glaze, mix icing sugar with egg white and lemon juice, adding water as necessary for consistency. Coat the top of the pancake with the glaze and let it set.

Notes

For an extra zing, add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter. Use room-temperature ingredients for the best results. Store leftover pancakes wrapped in aluminum foil or in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or up to 5 days in the refrigerator. To freeze, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag; they will last for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave as needed. Garnish pancakes with extra lemon zest, whipped cream, and fresh berries for a special touch!
