Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2% recommended for best texture)
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil, plus more for the griddle

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This is your dry mix.
  2. In a separate large bowl, whisk the egg until lightly beaten. Add the Greek yogurt, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix only until just combined. A few lumps are fine; overmixing develops gluten and makes pancakes tough.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. You know it is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. You see bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set before you flip.
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings for a truly satisfying breakfast delivery.

Notes

  • For extra tang, use plain Greek yogurt. For the fluffiest results, ensure your baking powder is fresh.
  • If you want to add blueberries or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter right before cooking, or sprinkle them onto the batter after pouring it onto the griddle.
  • This recipe makes about 8 medium pancakes, perfect for a quick, high-protein breakfast for two.
