Zesty Coconut Lime Pancakes
Whether you’re on a tropical vacation or just sitting at home on the weekend, these coconut lime pancakes are sure to bring you to paradise! Soft, fluffy, and with the tang of lime, they are delicious and can transport you to wherever you want to be. In my opinion, there are some essentials of a good pancake and I’m going to share those tips with you all:
- ALWAYS sift your flour when making pancakes. This will ensure lump-free batter that yields fluffy pancakes.
- Add melted butter to the batter as this will taste more like pancakes at your favorite brunch place. Buttery and delicious.
- Whisk instead of fold your dry and wet ingredients together, to make sure the batter is smooth and can be poured out easily.
- Pinch of salt, always.
Now that we have gone over the tips to make the best pancake, we must add those yummy ingredients in these, namely lime zest, a little bit of lime juice, and coconut flavored yogurt (you could alternatively use coconut whipped cream or just add coconut shreds on top!)
