In a large mixing bowl, sift the all-purpose flour and add the caster sugar and lemon zest.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
Melt the unsalted butter and stir it into the batter. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of vegetable oil. Swirl the pan to coat the surface evenly.
Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan, tilting it gently to spread the batter thinly into a large circle.
Cook for 1–2 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to lift. Flip the pancake carefully and cook the other side for 1 more minute.
Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and cover it with a clean tea towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding a drop of oil to the pan as needed.
Once all pancakes are cooked, drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy the delightful zing of British Mamgus Pancakes!
