Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (plus more if needed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Cooking
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter will be thick; if it seems too stiff, add a splash of milk to loosen it slightly without overmixing.
- Heat skillet: Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook pancakes: Drop 1/4 cup portions of batter onto the skillet, gently spreading into circles. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and edges begin to set.
- Flip and finish cooking: Flip each pancake carefully and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings for a delightful breakfast treat.
Notes
- For a heartier texture, substitute whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- Add-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips can be added to the batter before cooking for extra flavor.
- These pancakes freeze well; reheat in a toaster or microwave for a quick meal.
