Usually my boyfriend is a specialist when it comes to American pancakes so all I need to think about is to style them a bit with the topping and pour some maple syrup (I LOVE maple syrup). And then, eat them of course! Sunday brunches are pretty sweet actually!!

But for a change, I decided to make my own pancake recipe and twist them, using the poppy seeds I got from my partner L’île aux épices. To me, poppy seeds have to be used with lemon when it comes to baking. They go so well together! I also wanted to come up with healthy pancakes, so I used some Greek yogurt and two different flours: whole wheat flour and rye flour. But you can totally use whole wheat flour only if you wish!

When pancakes were ready to serve, I just grabbed one on the go (I couldn’t wait!) and being really happy with the result I started the shooting session with my friend Evvi, who is a professional photographer. We had so much fun together! She taught me some tricks regarding the use of my new DSLR and how to improve myself in food photography.

I can also recommend Food Photography – From snaphots to great shots, written by Nicole S. Young. This book is really useful! Lucky enough, I could also use for this shooting session my new Kosta Boda plates that I got for my birthday from my friends Dave and Mo. Aren’t they beautiful?

Then it was about time to eat the pancakes! Oh my goodness, seriously these lemon poppy seeds yogurt pancakes are amazing. They are really thick, exactly how we love them. And of course the duo lemon-poppy seeds was a success, as always, and gives this freshness taste to the pancakes! Just add some blackberries or blueberries, drizzle some maple syrup and enjoy!
