Pancakes are a traditional American dish, but historians believe that similar fluffy pancakes were once prepared in medieval Europe, as well as in Ancient Greece and Rome.

Traditional American pancakes are made with sour cream or yogurt. Yogurt-based pancakes are very fluffy and delicious, but lower in calories than those made with full-fat sour cream.

The traditional American yogurt pancake recipe can be made with any base:

neutral Greek yogurt;
thick berry or fruit product with any flavors and even inclusions (banana, berries or fruits);
low-calorie liquid drinking yogurt.

Some housewives share a life hack: they make this treat even from expired yogurt, without changing the taste or consistency, but we wouldn't recommend this solution, especially if you plan to treat guests or children to pancakes.

Today we'll take a detailed look at a simple recipe and learn how to make delicious pancakes with neutral Greek yogurt step by step.

Fluffy yogurt pancakes – a simple, quick recipe at home

Ingredients

Servings

Egg C1

2 pcs
Sugar

30 G
Milk

60 ml
Yogurt

80 G
Flour

150 G
Baking powder

5 G
Vanilla sugar

10 G

Preparation

Step 1

Break two large eggs into a convenient bowl, add 30 grams of sugar (regular or brown, to taste) and mix well with a whisk.

Step 2

Add 60 ml of milk and 80 grams of yogurt to the egg mixture. Whisk again until smooth.

If you want delicious banana or chocolate pancakes, you can add some chopped banana pulp or a little cocoa at this stage.

Step 3

Add 5 grams of baking powder to the liquid base.

Baking powder can be replaced with baking soda dissolved in vinegar. For a sour yogurt or kefir base, you can simply use 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda.

Step 4

Add 150 grams of pre-sifted flour and 10 grams of vanilla sugar to a bowl and knead the liquid dough.

Instead of vanilla sugar, you can use: natural vanilla, liquid extract or vanillin.

You can also add crushed nuts or coconut flakes to the dough; it will be very tasty.

Step 5

Heat the frying pan and lightly grease it with vegetable oil.

Place a small amount of dough (1.5-2 tablespoons) onto a preheated frying pan.

Step 6

The pancake fries very quickly, so after just 1 minute you need to turn it over and brown it on the other side (this takes literally 10-15 seconds).

Step 7

Stack the finished pancakes and decorate as desired.

Homemade pancakes have a short shelf life – only 2-3 days in the refrigerator (or up to 1 month in the freezer), but such a delicious treat is guaranteed to be eaten on the first day.

You can serve fluffy pancakes with any toppings. Neutral pancakes made with yogurt go great with:
