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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, plain yogurt, egg, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter or oil.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet between batches if necessary.

Step 8

Serve warm with butter, jam, or your desired toppings. Lummur also pairs well with savory accompaniments like smoked salmon or cream cheese.
