Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until well blended.
  2. In a separate large bowl, whisk 1 large egg until light and frothy. Add 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients until flour streaks disappear. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes to activate the baking powder.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for approximately 2 minutes. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully cooked.
  7. Transfer pancakes to a warm plate and serve with your favorite toppings.
