How to Make Light And Tasty Lemon Yogurt Pancakes

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 cup plain yogurt, 1/4 cup milk, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil until well combined.
  2. Stir in 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The batter will be thick.
  5. Zest and juice 1/2 a lemon and add to the batter.
  6. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles begin to form on the surface.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, cherry syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.
