Ingredients
Ingredients
all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups (measured)
sugar
2 tablespoons (measured)
baking powder
2 tablespoons (measured)
vegetable oil
1 tablespoon (measured)
salt
1 teaspoon (measured)
milk or soymilk
2 cups (measured)
plain fat-free yogurt or soy yogurt
1/2 cup (measured)
cinnamon (optional)
1 dash (optional)
Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. If you enjoy a hint of warmth, add a dash of cinnamon to the dry ingredients.
2
In a separate bowl, combine the milk (or soymilk) and yogurt (or soy yogurt), along with the vegetable oil. Mix well until fully combined.
3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined. It’s important to stop mixing when you still see a few lumps; overmixing can lead to tough pancakes.
4
Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the baking powder to activate and the mixture to thicken.
5
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium to medium-high heat, lightly greasing it with vegetable oil.
6
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
7
Carefully flip the pancakes and continue to cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2 more minutes.
8
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed. Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings.
