Description

Delicious fluffy pancakes that are perfect for breakfast or brunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
  • 3/4 cup (170 g) full fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 4 tablespoons (56 g) unsalted butter (melted and cooled)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, until combined. Set aside.
  2. In a second medium-sized bowl, whisk together yogurt, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  3. Add the melted butter slowly into your wet ingredients while whisking, stirring until well-combined. The butter may curdle if the other ingredients are cold but that’s ok.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir until just combined. Do not overmix your pancake batter or your pancakes will be flat. A few lumps are ok.
  5. Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray or lightly brush with canola oil. Heat skillet on medium-low heat.
  6. Heat skillet for 5 minutes before adding first pancakes. Batter needs to rest for a few minutes anyway. To test if the skillet is hot enough, drop a few drops of water in the center of the skillet to see if it sizzles.
  7. Ladle pancake batter into pan about ¼-⅓ cup of batter per pancake. Cook 3-4 pancakes at once.
  8. Allow pancake to cook until edges begin to appear dry and bubbles in batter begin to burst. Using a pancake spatula, carefully check underside to see if the pancake is golden brown. Then turn pancake over and continue to cook several more minutes until pancake is golden brown – about 1-2 minutes longer.
  9. Keep pancakes warm on a plate covered by another plate or in a warm 200°F on a heatproof plate.
  10. Repeat with remaining batter. You may need to spray the pan between each batch of pancakes.
  11. Serve warm topped with butter and maple syrup.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature ingredients.
  • Always check the skillet temperature before adding the batter.
  • Leftover pancakes can be refrigerated and reheated.
