Skyr Pancakes

Instructions

1. Prepare the dry ingredients
   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
2. Mix the wet ingredients
   In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the skyr, eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using) until smooth.
3. Combine the batter
   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a rubber spatula until just combined. Some small lumps are fine - do not overmix or the pancakes will become tough. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
4. Heat the cooking surface
   Heat a griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
5. Cook the pancakes
   For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the second side, about 1-2 minutes more.
6. Keep warm and continue
   Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while cooking the remaining batter. Add more butter to the griddle as needed between batches.
7. Serve
   Stack pancakes on plates and serve immediately with fresh berries and maple syrup.
