Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 20g cornstarch
- 85g 00 flour (or substitute with all-purpose flour)
- 4g instant yeast
- 1g baking soda
- 20g sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 105g plain yogurt
- 4g lemon juice
- 1/2 lemon, zest grated
- 15g cooking oil
Instructions
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, sift together the cornstarch, 00 flour (or all-purpose flour), instant yeast, baking soda, and sugar. This ensures even distribution and a lump-free batter.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, plain yogurt, lemon juice, and cooking oil until smooth and fully combined. Gently stir in the grated lemon zest for a fresh citrus aroma.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat. This helps the pancakes cook evenly without sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Spoon portions of batter onto the preheated pan, shaping into pancakes. Cover the pan with a lid and cook each pancake for about 2 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove pancakes from the pan and serve warm. Garnish with your favorite toppings such as honey, syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of yogurt.
Notes
- If you don’t have 00 flour, all-purpose flour works just as well.
- Don’t overmix the batter—it’s fine if it’s a little lumpy.
- For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Try adding a pinch of salt to enhance flavors.
- These pancakes are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in a toaster for a quick snack.
