ALMOND POPPY SEED PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200°F Place the almond paste in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk on low speed while adding the milk, a little at a time, to loosen up the paste until it's smooth and not lumpy. Alternatively, you can process the almond paste with a little of the milk in a food processor until smooth (add just enough milk to help the almond paste thin out).
• Add the sour cream, almond extract, and eggs. Whisk or process until well-blended and smooth.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds. Whisk well to thoroughly combine.
• Slowly pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients while gently stirring, and mix just until combined. (Don't overmix or you will activate the gluten in the flour and the pancakes will be chewy, like bread, instead of fluffy.) The mixture will be a little lumpy (and that's OK; if you have pockets of flour bigger than a dime, smash them against the side of the bowl to break them apart without having to stir the batter more). Pour in the melted butter and gently mix just until incorporated. (Sometimes melted butter solidifies when added to cold ingredients. Adding it now helps disperse it evenly in the batter and smooth out some of the lumps.).
• Place a griddle or wide (preferably 14-inch) sauté pan over medium heat for several minutes. If using an electric griddle, set the heat to 350°F.
• Sprinkle the griddle with a few drops of water; they should bounce around before evaporating. If they sizzle away quickly, the heat is too high. If they just sit there and slowly steam, the heat is too low. When the griddle is properly heated, brush with oil or clarified butter, and then wipe with a paper towel so it's evenly greased. (Big spots of oil or butter will promote uneven browning and your pancakes will have dark and light spots.).
• Ladle 1/2 cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle, an inch or two apart. Sprinkle evenly with 1 Tbs. toasted almonds.
• Cook until bubbles begin to pop on the surface of the pancakes, the edges look a little dry, and the underside is golden, about 2 minutes. Flip them over and continue cooking until the pancakes are cooked through, about 1 minute more. (If the undersides of the pancakes are browning or burning before the tops get a chance to form bubbles and dry out, the heat is too high. If it's taking much longer than 2 or 3 minutes for the bubbles to form, the heat is too low.).
• Repeat with the remaining batter. Keep the pancakes warm on a heatproof platter or baking sheet in the oven.
• Serve with whipped butter and maple syrup.

SUNDAY MORNING LEMON POPPY SEED PANCAKES

Steps:

• Stir the milk, vinegar, and lemon juice together in a bowl; let stand 10 minutes to curdle. Whisk in egg, butter, and vanilla extract.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, poppy seeds, and lemon zest until well combined. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and whisk a few times until the batter is mostly free of lumps.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake into the skillet and cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes over with a spatula and brown the other side, about 2 more minutes.

LEMON-POPPY SEED PANCAKES WITH HONEY AND LEMON CREME FRAICHE

Steps:

• Combine half of the lemon zest and 1/4 cup of the sugar in a small bowl. Rub the zest into the sugar with your fingers to infuse the sugar with the lemon.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together into a medium bowl. Stir in the lemon sugar and the poppy seeds.
• Combine the warm milk, melted butter, vanilla and the juice of 1 lemon in a large bowl; the mixture will start to curdle, but don't fear, it will all come back together.
• Put the egg whites in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whip on high speed until they look foamy. Continue whipping, slowly adding the remaining 1/4 cup sugar to create a meringue; stop whipping as soon as all the sugar is added and the meringue holds firm peaks. Gently fold the meringue into the wet ingredients, being careful not to deflate them. Then fold this mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
• Melt the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, scoop up batter with a cookie scoop and pour it onto the skillet to create uniform-sized pancakes. Cook the pancakes until small bubbles form on the surface and the bottoms are golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until the bottoms are browned, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• While the pancakes are cooking, combine the remaining zest and juice of 1 lemon, creme fraiche and honey in a small bowl. Top the pancakes with the lemon creme fraiche. Enjoy.

ORANGE- POPPY SEED PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°F Put the soy milk and water into a small bowl and stir until well combined.
• Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the wet and stir to combine, using as few strokes as possible so you do not overmix the batter.
• Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the batter to thicken. Lightly oil a frying pan over medium heat.
• Using a measuring cup, pour 1/4 cup dollops of batter onto the pan . Cook until pancakes are bubbly on top and the edges are slightly dry, 2 to 3 minutes. Trun and cook until the pancakes are light brown on the bottom, 2 to 3 more minutes.
• Transfer finished pancakes to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you cook the rest. Oil the pan before each new batch.
• Serve with your choice of toppings!

• Preheat a lightly oiled griddle on medium-low heat. Ladle batter 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared griddle, sprinkling a few blueberries over each pancake. Cook until bubbles start to appear and edges are dry, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until other side is browned, about 2 minutes.
