1 Batch of Lemon Poppyseed Pancake Mix (see above)
zest of 1 lemon
3 egg whites
1 ½ c. milk
2 Tbs vegetable oil
1 Tbs butter melted
2 Tbs lemon juice

Dump the batch of lemon poppyseed pancake mix into a large bowl.
In a small bowl, combine milk, oil, melted butter, lemon juice, poppy seeds, and lemon zest, mixing well, then pour the mixture into the poppyseed pancake mix. Mix until combined.
Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the batter, don’t over mix.
Let them rest while the griddle is heating. Pour the batter about 1/4 cup at a time onto a buttered hot skillet or griddle. Wait for bubbles to form, then flip.

Pancakes should only ever be flipped one time, otherwise they lose their fluffiness. Drizzle with lemon poppyseed glaze.

2 c. powdered sugar
3-4 Tbsp. lemon juice
½ tsp. poppy seeds

Combine the ingredients, blending well until smooth. Use this delicious zesty glaze to drizzle over fresh, hot, lemon poppyseed pancakes.
