Blueberry and Greek Yogurt Pancakes
This morning, I felt like pancakes. Since I had some blueberries and Greek yogurt left over, which I had used for my Fish and Cauliflower Tacos recipe, I tried a recipe for Blueberry and Greek Yogurt Pancakes.
For this recipe, I did not use baking powder. I replaced it with beaten egg whites and Greek yogurt to give the pancakes a nice fluffiness. Here is the recipe step by step!
The perfect recipe for pancakes without baking powder
I’ve been looking for the perfect recipe for pancake dough for a long time. For me, it was important to find a pancake recipe without baking powder. After several attempts, I finally found the perfect quantities and ingredients to make the pancakes soft and fluffy.
Ingredients:
- 3 egg yolks
- 50 g of sugar
- 100 g flour
- 100 g Greek yogurt
- 3 egg whites
- 3 drops of lemon juice
- vanilla extract (optional)
These quantities make about 12 pancakes.
Step 1: Pancake batter with Greek yogurt
First, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar in a bowl until you get a creamy texture. Then add the flour and Greek yogurt and mix.
Step 2: Beaten egg whites
In another bowl, beat the egg whites with 3 drops of lemon until stiff. Finally, gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture.
Step 3: Blueberries
Add a handful of blueberries to the dough.
Then, prepare the blueberry compote that will accompany the pancakes. In a bowl, mix 250 g of blueberries with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Cook in the microwave at 800 Watt for 1 min 30 sec.
Step 4: Baking the pancakes
In a frying pan, heat oil, such as sunflower or rapeseed oil. You can also cook the pancakes with butter. Personally, I’ve tried both and I think I prefer to cook with butter!
Put a good spoonful of pancake batter in the hot pan. Cook over medium heat for about 1 minute, then turn the pancake over and cook for another minute.
Step 5: Presentation
Place 3 to 4 pancakes on a plate. Add the blueberry compote.
You can serve with a little Greek yogurt, it will soften the acidity of the blueberries.
