Milk (¾ cup, or as needed to reach desired consistency)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings:
Maple syrup
Berries—fresh (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Pancake Batter
And the secret…Fluffy Yogurt Pancakeswith just a right combination of dry and wet ingredients to make them light and tender. Here’s how:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. They add structure and make sure the pancakes rise properly.
In another small/medium bowl, combine the whisked yogurt/milk/eggs, melted butter and vanilla extract. These are three ingredient pancake and the yogurt is what will give fluffiness to your pancakes with a ever so gentle tang that perfectly complimentsthe syrup (or whatever) you top it with.
Combine the wet with the dry and mix it by folding until everything is well incorporated. Do not overmix, it is ok if the batter is a bit lumpy, overmixing may cause tough pancakes.
If the batter looks too thick add a little more milk (1 tbsp at a time) to get desired consistency.
2. Cook the Pancakes
Fluffy Yogurt Pancakestake time to cook until golden, they are asthma sensitive baby.
Set a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, grease with melted butter or cooking spray.
Using approx ¼ cup batter pour onto hot skillet for each pancake.
Rather than trying to eyeball the pancake’s doneness, cook them for about 2-3 minutes on the first side until bubbles form on the surface and soft appearing edges connect.
Flip and cook 1-2 min until golden brown on other side and cooked through. Pancakes should be light and fluffy with a crispy edge.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a 200F (95C) while you cook the rest of the batter.
3. Serve and Garnish
Once your pancakes are cooked, serve them with some of the following accompaniments:
You can also flavor the pancakes with maple syrup or honey.
You can also toss in some fresh berries, 1/2 cup or so (think blueberries), for your pop of color and freshnessでもございます(^^)
Dunk in syrup, or for a truly decadent option, add a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Stir in fresh fruit and nuts, if desired (we like chopped almonds, walnuts or pecans) for some crunch.
How to Make Fluffy Yogurt Pancakes
Greek Yogurt For Fluffy Texture:One of my favorite things about these pancakes is that they are soooo fluffy (who doesn’t like a fluffy pancake?!). That said, you can use whatever yogurt you would like but just remember to adjust the milk amount accordingly to reach the desired consistency.
Mix the batter as little as possible:Overmixing encourages gluten to develop in the flour, making a rubbery pancake. Make the batter lumpy for a light and fluffy pancake.
Low and Slow Cooking — You should cook the pancakes over medium heat so that they can cook through well without burning on the outside before the inside of the pancake is done. To ensure an even golden-brown color, reduce/raise the heat if necessary.
Let Pancakes Warm:Considering how to keep pancakes warm, in the event that are making a large batch hold them hot through popping all of them on the plate within a low stove till ready to serve. It keeps the slices of bread from getting all moist and cold.
How to Use Yogurt in Pancakes
