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
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter or non-stick spray.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Step 8
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite topping options, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or an extra dollop of yogurt.
