Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g All-purpose flour
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 1.5 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Ground cardamom
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 240 ml Whole milk
- 120 ml Plain yogurt
- 1 large Egg
- 50 g Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 10 ml Butter or oil for greasing the pan
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, ground cardamom, and salt. Whisk well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, plain yogurt, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to form a thick batter. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter or oil.
Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot skillet, spreading it into a circular shape about 5-6 inches in diameter.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip the lummur using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on the other side.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet between batches if necessary.
Serve warm with butter, jam, or your desired toppings. Lummur also pairs well with savory accompaniments like smoked salmon or cream cheese.
