Follow these simple steps to prepare your Sweet Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
   In another bowl, whisk together the milk (or almond milk), egg (or flax egg), melted butter (or coconut oil), lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth.
3. Combine Ingredients:
   Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense pancakes.
4. Cook the Pancakes:
   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until the other side is golden brown.
5. Serve Warm:
   Transfer the pancakes to a plate and serve them warm with your choice of syrup or fresh fruit.
