For pancakes, combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl. Add oil, egg, milk, and lemon juice and zest, and mix well. It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy. Butter a warm griddle, and drop batter onto pan, making each pancake about ¼ cup of batter. Let cook until edges are brown and dry. Flip pancakes and cook the other side. Meanwhile, prepare syrup by placing sugars and water in a pan, and heating over high heat, stirring occasionally. Remove peel from lemon in large chunks, and add it to the syrup. Bring to a boil, and let boil 1-2 minutes for thin syrup, 3-4 minutes for thicker syrup. Remove lemon peel pieces with a spoon and discard. Serve warm pancakes with butter and warm lemon syrup.
