Fluffy Yoghurt Pancakes

KiwiYank's Note:

I found this recipe in Taste Magazine (New Zealand) and it is amazing. Easy to make, never gloppy in the middle, light and fresh. They will fill you up at the time but not weigh you down and are not overloaded with sweet! These are my signature dish.....Enjoy!

• Total Time: 13 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 3 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 6

Yield: 18.0 pancakes

• 3 eggs , lightly beaten
• 500 ml milk
• 1 cup yoghurt
• 1 lemon, zest of
• 3 cups self-raising flour
• ¼ cup caster sugar (superfine sugar)

Directions:

1. In large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, yoghurt and lemon zest until smooth.
2. Add flour and sugar and whisk again until smooth.
3. Batter should be dropping consistency; if too thick, add more milk; if too runny, add more flour.
4. Heat large skillet/pan to medium. I don't use a spray as long as pans are non stick. Test heat of pan by dropping water on it; water should sizzle in drops.
5. Using 1/4 cup measure, drop batter into pan ( I get three per pan) and cook until bubbles form and pop on surface (sides will start to look cooked rather than runny), flip and cook until golden. Second side will only take 30-60 seconds.
6. Serve hot, in stacks of three, layered with bacon strips. Top with banana and raspberries, and of course (real) maple syrup! Yum!

These make a really nice textured pancake and yes they are fluffy which surprised me as usually you have to whip the egg whites for that. I used a vanilla yoghurt and about 2 1/2 cups wholemeal self-rasing flour. I made them pikelet size and the mixture made heaps..I'm going to see how they freeze. Thanks for posting!
