Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Greek
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- Honey for drizzling
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth and well combined.
- Sift flour and baking powder into the yogurt mixture, gently folding until a uniform batter forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make pancakes tough.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow flour to hydrate and create a lighter texture.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the heated surface, leaving space between each pancake.
- Sprinkle a few fresh blueberries directly onto the uncooked side of each pancake while the first side is cooking.
- Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes until small bubbles form on the surface and edges start to look dry.
- Carefully flip pancakes and cook the blueberry side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate, keeping them covered to maintain temperature.
- Serve warm, drizzling generously with honey and garnishing with additional fresh blueberries if desired.
Tips
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the flour and baking powder with the yogurt mixture, gently fold until just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes, so keep it light and airy!
- Let It Rest: Allowing the batter to rest for 5 minutes is crucial. This step helps the flour hydrate, resulting in lighter and fluffier pancakes.
- Perfect Heat: Ensure your skillet or griddle is at medium heat. Too high, and the pancakes will burn on the outside while remaining raw inside; too low, and they won’t develop that beautiful golden color.
- Fresh Blueberries: For an extra burst of flavor, use fresh blueberries. If you’re using frozen ones, thaw and drain them to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
- Honey Drizzle: Don’t skimp on the honey! A generous drizzle not only adds sweetness but also enhances the overall flavor profile of the pancakes.
- Keep Them Warm: As you cook the pancakes, transfer them to a warm plate and cover them with a kitchen towel to keep them warm until ready to serve.Enjoy your cooking adventure with these delightful pancakes!
