In and Out of Reality with Glazed Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes

On my 4th day home from vacation and reality is sitting in…..for the past few days i have been able to escape into catching up on The Bachelor, The Biggest Loser, Revenge, Modern Family, Happy Endings and The New Girl (loved every minute of it!) Now, my unpacked suitcase is staring at me

and worse yet, my laundry pile is starting to overthrow the bathroom….can’t i call on maid service? Like the sketchy girl from the bachelor (Courtney), i blow out a candle and wish for it all to go away…..NOT WINNING…..so as i put away my flip flops and sunscreen, i settle into the fact that vacation is over and i’m home to stay

So to find a little bit of indulgence in my everyday life, i decided to make Glazed Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes…after all, who can do laundry on an empty stomach?

Pancake Batter

1 cup of buttermilk (I never have this on hand so I just add a few squirts of lemon juice into my milk)
1 egg
let this sit for about 2 minutes
add to it:
zest from 2 lemons
1 cup flour
2 T of sugar…(i just grab with my hand so you may want to add more or less)
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
2 T poppy seeds
1tsp lemon juice
1/4 cup canola oil

Whisk, Whisk, Whisk….now heat up your pan (i set my stovetop on #4…if it gets too hot, you’ll burn your pancake…and we just can’t have that!) and pour some canola oil in when it’s warm (this is the key to the crispy edges….my family’s faorite part)…now pour in batter, wait till it bubbles on top….and FLIP!
