Introduction
These pancakes are light, fluffy, and incredibly easy to prepare using everyday ingredients.

Origin and Cultural Significance
Pancakes have been a staple across cultures for centuries, from American flapjacks to French crêpes and Russian blini. This version leans on European-style batter with yogurt—a common ingredient in Mediterranean and Eastern European pancake recipes. Yogurt not only enriches the batter but also reflects a long tradition of using fermented dairy for better texture and taste. These pancakes continue that legacy with a modern twist on a beloved classic.
Ingredients Quantity
- 300 g all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 60 g sugar
- 200 ml milk
- 1 pot of plain yogurt (125 g)
- 60 ml oil
- 2 sachets vanilla sugar
- 1 sachet baking powder (11 g)
Optional Additions
- Zest of 1 lemon or orange for brightness
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg for warmth
- Mini chocolate chips or blueberries folded into the batter
- A splash of vanilla extract for deeper aroma
- A pinch of salt to enhance flavor balance
Tips for Success
- Let the batter rest for at least 5 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate and the baking powder to activate.
- Use medium heat to avoid burning the pancakes before the inside cooks through.
- Lightly oil the pan or use nonstick spray for even cooking.
- Do not overmix the batter—some lumps are okay and help keep the texture light.
- Use a ladle or scoop for evenly sized pancakes.
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until slightly frothy.
- Stir in the vanilla sugar.
- Add the oil, yogurt, and milk; mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour and baking powder, mixing until you have a smooth, homogeneous batter.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease if needed.
- Pour batter into the pan using a ladle or 1/4 cup measure for each pancake.
- Cook for 1–2 minutes per side, or until bubbles form on the surface and edges are set. Flip and cook until golden.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Embracing Healthful Indulgence
For a lighter version, consider substituting part of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour, using low-fat yogurt and reducing the sugar slightly. You can also boost nutrition by adding flaxseed meal or chia seeds to the batter. These small changes keep the pancakes just as delicious while offering a health-conscious spin.
