Steps:
- In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt, milk, eggs, butter and honey. In a separate larger bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the dry ingredients and fold in the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the poppy seeds and lemon zest.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a pat of butter to the skillet and swirl to coat. Working in batches, drop 1/4 cup batter into the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, 2 to 3 minutes; flip and continue cooking until golden and firm, 1 to 2 minutes more. To serve, slather each pancake with a dollop of yogurt and a spoonful of jam.

POPPY, LEMON AND SUNFLOWER SEED PANCAKES
These are inspired by Heidi Swanson's poppy seed and sunflower seed pancakes. She serves hers with a citrus marmalade, and also suggests making a savory version and serving it with a compound butter (I'd go Mediterranean and serve the savory ones with Greek-style yogurt). I decided to stir some lemon zest into the batter. I dotted some of the pancakes with raspberries and left others plain. Loved them both ways.

Steps:
- Sift together the flour(s), baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. Stir in the poppy seeds and sunflower seeds
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Whisk in the buttermilk, canola oil and vanilla. Quickly stir in the flour mix and lemon zest. Do not overwork the batter
- Heat a griddle or a large skillet, either nonstick or seasoned cast iron, over medium-high heat. Brush with butter or oil. Use a 1/4-cup ladle or cup measure to drop 3 to 4 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto your heated pan or griddle. Place about 6 raspberries, if using, on each pancake. When bubbles break through the pancakes, flip them over and cook for another minute, until they are brown on the other side. Serve right away, or allow to cool and wrap individual servings in plastic, then place in a freezer bag and freeze

Steps:
- For the raspberry syrup: Combine the raspberries, maple syrup and lemon juice in a small pot and place over medium-low heat. Using the back of a fork, lightly mash the raspberries. Allow to heat through while you prepare the pancakes.
- For the pancakes: Stir the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking soda and salt together in a bowl. In a separate large bowl, mix the sour cream, lemon extract, food coloring, eggs and lemon zest until well combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just combined.
- Heat a griddle over medium-low heat. Smear the griddle with the butter. Drop the batter in 1/4-cup portions onto the griddle. Cook on the first side until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges are starting to brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until set in the middle, an additional minute or two. Remove the pancakes from the griddle and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Strain the raspberries from the syrup and discard the pulp.
