Description
These Yogurt Pancakes are ultra-fluffy and tender, thanks to the yogurt that adds both richness and tang. They’re perfect for a cozy breakfast or weekend brunch, and easy enough to whip up any morning of the week.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk (more as needed for consistency)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
1️⃣ Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2️⃣ Whisk wet ingredients: In another bowl, combine the yogurt, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
3️⃣ Combine: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix. The batter will be thick; add a splash of milk if needed to thin slightly.
4️⃣ Heat the skillet: Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
5️⃣ Cook pancakes: Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
6️⃣ Serve warm: Stack the pancakes and serve with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, maple syrup, honey, or a dollop of yogurt.
