Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, a few lumps are okay.

Chef's Tips

For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.

Adjust the amount of lemon zest to your liking.

If the batter is too thick, add a splash more Jersey milk until it reaches a pourable consistency.

Use a local, seasonal fruit topping to complement the Jersey honey.
