Ingredient Notes
You will need 1 cup of all-purpose flour, which can be substituted with whole wheat flour for a healthier option. Two tablespoons of fresh herbs (like chives or parsley) add flavor, while 1 pound of Greek yogurt makes them moist. Finally, use 1/2 cup of milk for a light batter; almond milk works well too.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and milk until smooth, then fold into the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, cooking until bubbles form on top. Flip and cook until golden brown.
Things I’ve Learned
These pancakes are best served immediately but can be kept warm in the oven at a low temperature. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, simply warm them on a skillet or in the microwave. Feel free to experiment with different herbs based on your preference!
