My Best Tips for Pancake Success
Sift the flour: This simple step keeps your batter smooth and completely lump-free.
Let the batter rest: Just resting it for a few minutes works magic for extra fluffy pancakes.
Preheat your skillet well: A hot pan gives you those gorgeous, golden, slightly crispy edges.
Use enough butter or oil: Nobody likes pancakes stuck to the pan!
Cook over medium heat: This ensures they cook through and brown evenly without burning.
Flip with care: Wait until tiny bubbles pop on the surface before gently flipping so they stay perfectly intact.
Keep them warm: Pop cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a low oven while you finish the rest of the batch.
Get creative with toppings: Anything goes—from fresh berries and maple syrup to chocolate chips or even savory add-ins!
Make the batter the night before: Perfect for saving precious time on busy mornings.
Can You Make These Ahead or Store Leftovers?
Once cooked, you can keep the pancakes warm for a little while, but try not to leave them out for longer than 30 minutes.
I don’t recommend freezing these, as the texture won’t hold up as well.
Fun Recipe Variations
Chocolate Pancakes: Mix cocoa powder or chocolate chips right into the batter.
Banana Pancakes: Fold mashed bananas into the batter.
Cheesy Pancakes: Stir shredded cheese into the batter.
Savory Pancakes: Season the batter with fresh herbs and serve with fried eggs and crisp bacon.
Gluten-Free Pancakes: Swap in your favorite gluten-free flour blend.

How to Make These Pancakes
Instructions:
First, add the eggs and yogurt into the mixing bowl.
Next, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, and sugar) and add them to the bowl.
Mix for 20 sec / Speed 5, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, and mix again for 3 sec / Speed 5.
Transfer the batter to a bowl and let it rest for about 15 minutes.
Heat a skillet over high heat, then turn it down to medium and add a splash of oil.
Spoon a tablespoon of batter into the skillet for each pancake and cook for 1–2 minutes (cook times will vary a bit depending on your skillet and heat level).
Once little bubbles start forming on the surface, flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for another minute or so until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter.
Stack the pancakes high on a plate and serve warm with all your favorite toppings.
Enjoy!
