  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder A leavening agent for fluffiness; ensure it's fresh for best results.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Greek yogurt and 2 large eggs. Whisk them together until smooth.
  2. Gradually sift in 1 cup of flour and 1 tablespoon of baking powder into the wet mixture, followed by ½ cup of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gently fold ingredients until just combined.
  3. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Lightly grease the surface.
  4. Pour approximately ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set, then flip.
