More Experimenting with Pancakes

Because I knew we were going to expend some calories last Saturday, I figured it was a good day to have pancakes for breakfast. Rather than using our regular recipe, I decided to try a new one to help use up the plain yogurt in the fridge. This recipe was quite similar to the Sour Cream Pancakes we tried last fall, but enough different to deserve its own post.

Fluffy Pancakes

1 cup flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup plain yogurt 
2-3 tablespoons water

Combine dry ingredients, then gently stir in the remaining ingredients. Makes 6 large pancakes at 120 calories each.

Updated: We tried a version using vanilla Greek yogurt, and although a bit tangy, this recipe was delicious as well.

Vanilla Yogurt Pancakes

• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1/2 cup Greek vanilla yogurt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup white flour
• 1/4 cup wheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Mix liquid ingredients, then dry ingredients. Combine mixtures. Let batter sit for a few minutes, then bake on a hot griddle.
