Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, beat the 1 egg with 1 cup milk and the zest and juice of the 1 lemon.

  2. Step 2

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy. Do not overmix.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a lightly oiled griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook until golden, about 1 minute more.

  4. Step 4

    Toast the 1/4 cup slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat, shaking often, until fragrant and lightly browned, about 3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Serve the pancakes warm, topped with the toasted almonds and a dusting of powdered sugar.
