Ingredients

  • 200 g 00 flour (or all-purpose flour)
  • 5 tablespoons plain or Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 60 ml vegetable oil (such as sunflower or canola oil)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 large egg (or 2 small ones)
  • 15 g baking powder
  • 1 sachet vanilla sugar (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
  • 100 ml milk (add gradually for desired consistency)
  • Butter or oil for greasing the pan

Directions

  1. Prep the Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, and vanilla sugar until light and slightly frothy.
  2. Add Yogurt and Oil: Incorporate the yogurt and vegetable oil into the egg mixture, mixing until smooth and creamy.
  3. Sift the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a whisk or spatula.
  5. Adjust the Consistency: Slowly pour in the milk until the batter is thick but pourable.
  6. Rest the Batter: Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes to enhance fluffiness.
  7. Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  8. Cook the Pancakes: Pour a small ladle of batter onto the pan and gently spread it into a circle. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
  9. Flip: Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Stack and Keep Warm: Stack the pancakes on a plate and keep them warm while cooking the remaining batter.
