Ingredients
Greek yogurt
8 ounces (none)
All-purpose flour
7 tablespoons (sifted)
Sugar
1 tablespoon (none)
Baking powder
1 teaspoon (none)
Salt
1/2 teaspoon (none)
Large eggs
2 (beaten)
Vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon (none)
Instructions
1
In a medium mixing bowl, place the Greek yogurt. Add the sifted all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a spatula, stir the ingredients gently to combine, making sure not to overmix—it's okay if the mixture is slightly lumpy.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk the large eggs thoroughly. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated. Gradually pour this egg mixture into the Greek yogurt mixture.
3
Again, stir gently to combine the ingredients, allowing for some visible swirls of yogurt and egg. The goal is to maintain a rustic texture.
4
Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
5
Cook the pancakes for about 1 to 1.5 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then carefully flip them over. Allow them to cook for an additional 45 seconds until golden brown and cooked through.
6
Remove the pancakes from the griddle and place them on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary.
7
Serve warm with your choice of syrup, fresh fruits, nuts, or a dollop of extra Greek yogurt.
