Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Greek
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds for topping
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature for optimal mixing.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, milk, honey, and egg. Whisk these wet ingredients until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some small lumps are acceptable.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid and the baking powder to activate.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
- Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour batter onto the hot skillet. Sprinkle some sliced almonds directly onto the wet surface of each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look dry, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve warm, drizzled with additional honey and topped with extra sliced almonds if desired.
Tips
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: For the best texture, make sure your Greek yogurt, milk, and egg are at room temperature before mixing. This helps create a smoother batter.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. A few small lumps are perfectly fine and will result in fluffier pancakes.
- Rest the Batter: Allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes before cooking. This gives the flour time to absorb the liquid and activates the baking powder for fluffier pancakes.
- Perfect Heat: Make sure your skillet is at medium heat. If it’s too hot, the pancakes will burn on the outside while remaining raw on the inside. A drop of water should sizzle and evaporate quickly when the pan is ready.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Besides honey and sliced almonds, consider adding fresh fruits like berries or bananas, or even a dollop of additional Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
- Keep Them Warm: If you’re making a large batch, keep the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F or 90°C) while you finish cooking the rest.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the batter the night before and store it in the refrigerator. Just give it a quick stir before cooking in the morning!
