Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Plain yogurt
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, milk, egg, melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter or non-stick spray.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake and spread slightly with the back of a spoon to create an even circle.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite topping options, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or an extra dollop of yogurt.
