Method

Preparing the Pancakes

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, combine buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.

  4. 4

    Cook the Pancakes

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Making the Guava Puree
