Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) all-purpose flour (120 grams)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) granulated sugar (12 grams)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking powder (4 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) baking soda (2 grams)
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt (1.5 grams)
- 1 cup (240 ml) plain yogurt (240 milliliters)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) lemon juice (30 milliliters)
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) melted butter (28 grams)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract (5 milliliters)
- Optional: vegetable oil for greasing the pan
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain yogurt, 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter may be slightly lumpy.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil if desired.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings.
Notes
- For a lighter texture, opt for Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt.
- Enhance the flavor by adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
- Add blueberries or sliced bananas to the batter for a fruity variation.
