Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Provides structure and texture; can swap with whole wheat flour for added fiber.
  • 2 tablespoons sugar Adds sweetness; consider reducing or using a substitute for healthier option.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder Ensures pancakes rise beautifully; keep fresh.
  • 1 pinch salt Balances sweetness and enhances flavor.
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (2% plain) Star ingredient that brings protein and moisture.
  • ½ cup milk Adjusts batter consistency; can use buttermilk for tangier taste.
  • 2 large eggs Adds moisture and binds pancakes together; can use flax eggs for vegan.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Infuses batter with rich flavor; almond extract is a good alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter Contributes to richness and flavor; can substitute with neutral oil.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well mixed.
  2. In a larger bowl, mix the wet ingredients: Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined; let the batter rest.
  4. Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes and lightly grease it.
  5. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2 minutes until bubbles form.
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Remove and keep warm; continue cooking the rest of the batter and serve pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.
