Key lime pie pancakes are light and fluffy pancakes with the signature sweet and tart flavors of an actual Key lime pie! You'll love the graham crumble!
Using a pastry blender, blend together the softened butter, flour, brown sugar, and ground flax seed. Once mixture is uniformly crumbly, blend in the egg white.
Dump the mixture onto a baking sheet. Using your fingers, break the dough into small struesel-like crumbles.
Bake for 10 minutes. Stir and bake another 10 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
For the Pancakes:
Preheat a griddle to 375°F or a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat.
Whisk together the melted butter, the egg, and the egg yolk.
Whisk in the buttermilk, water, lime zest, lime juice, brown sugar, and vanilla.
Whisk in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Allow batter to rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
To cook the pancakes, drop by spoonfuls onto preheated griddle/frying pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side and then 2-3 minutes on the second side.
For the Lime Syrup:
Stir together the lime juice and sweetened condensed milk.
For the Whipping Cream:
Using the whisk attachment on a hand mixer, blend the whipping cream, maple syrup, and vanilla until thick.
For serving, layer the pancakes with lime syrup, whipping cream, and top with streusel crumbs!
