Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 125 g all-purpose flour
- 25 g granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp table salt
- 12 g baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- 160 g plain Greek yogurt
- 50 g egg (approximately 1 large egg)
- 20 g olive oil
- 120 g whole milk
Instructions
- Whisk the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, table salt, baking powder, and baking soda until well combined.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, egg, and olive oil until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Add milk to wet ingredients: Pour in the whole milk and continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Mix dry and wet mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients bowl. Whisk until smooth, then use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure even incorporation of all ingredients.
- Preheat pan or griddle: Heat a large non-stick pan or hot griddle over medium-low to medium heat and lightly grease the surface with oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook pancakes first side: Pour batter onto the pan in 2 to 3 inch circles, cooking 3 to 4 pancakes at a time. Allow pancakes to cook until the bottom edges show they are cooked through.
- Flip and cook second side: Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula once the bottom edges are cooked and the surface begins to dry. Cook until the edges are completely dry and pancakes are cooked through, then remove from the pan.
- Continue cooking batter: Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, maintaining medium-low heat to ensure pancakes cook evenly without burning.
Notes
- Use Greek yogurt for a thicker batter and tangy flavor; regular yogurt may make the batter thinner.
- Be sure not to overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy and tender.
- Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning; medium-low is ideal for even cooking.
- Serve pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or honey.
- Olive oil adds a subtle flavor, but you can substitute with vegetable or melted butter if preferred.
