Ingredients
Pancake Batter:
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ½ cup milk
- 1 egg
- ¾ cup flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Topping:
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and baking powder until combined evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the egg, milk, and Greek yogurt, then whisk just until the batter is combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Heat Skillet: Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter across the surface of the pan to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles start to form on the top surface, indicating the bottom is set, then flip carefully using a spatula. Cook for an additional 1 minute on the other side until golden and cooked through.
- Finish with Topping: Once removed from the pan, immediately sprinkle the pancakes with the cinnamon sugar mixture to create a sweet and crunchy churro-inspired crust.
Notes
- Use Greek yogurt for a tangy flavor and extra fluffiness; substitute with regular yogurt if needed.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and tender.
- Make sure the skillet is hot enough before adding batter to prevent sticking and to get a nice crust.
- For an extra indulgent touch, serve with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
- Adjust the cinnamon sugar topping amount based on your sweetness preference.
