Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup yogurt we use plain yogurt, but you can use whatever you like
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp oil we usually use canola oil
  • 1 cup fruit (optional) we often use frozen blueberries or mashed banana, but sliced strawberry and peach are delicious too
  • 1/4 cup milk + more if necessary to thin batter
  • oil for frying

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine yogurt, egg, milk and oil. Mix well.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir to combine. If the batter seems too thick add a little milk to thin it slightly. If it seems too thin, add a little flour to thicken it up slightly. For some reason my mom always uses a fork for this, so I do too.
  • Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add about 1 tablespoon of oil or butter to the pan. Drop pancake batter by 1/4 cup scoops into hot oil. Watch them closely to make sure they're cooked well before you flip them (about 2-3 minutes per side). As the pancakes start to set little bubbles will form around their edges. Flip and cook until golden brown on both sides. You may want to test one from your first batch to make sure they're fully cooked. They take a little longer than regular pancakes because of the yogurt.
  • Feel free to serve them as they're ready - they're best when they're hot. If you're cooking for a crowd or want to keep them hot (without getting soggy), you can put a cooling rack on a cookie sheet and keep the pancakes on it in a low (say 175 or 200 degree F) oven.
  • Serve hot with maple syrup. Enjoy! :) ♥
