Light and Tasty Lemon Yogurt Pancakes

Submitted by WI Cheesehead

"I've seen several lemon pancake recipes, but they had either cottage cheese or ricotta. These are made with yogurt. They're low fat too. From Outpost Natural Foods. Instead of lemon flavored yogurt, I use plain and add 1/2 lemon to a double batch. 8 pancakes wouldn't go very far in this family!"

Jan 3 2010: Really, really good pancakes. I used plain yoghurt and added 1 tsp of lemon juice. Just love the flavour of these as did the rest of the family. We will definitely make these again. Update Nov 29 2010: I just had to let you know that I must have made these pancakes at least 20 times by now. They are a stable in our fridge meaning that I will mix the batter ahead for a quick breakfast for the kids on weekday mornings. I use yoghurt 1 tsp of lemon juice and I by now completely omit the oil - I don't find it necessary at all. All together a healthy breakfast when served with some applesauce. I have also served these for the morning after a big slumber party and I am now known as 'the mom that makes really good pancakes...'

These where good, but my one regret was that they weren't as lemony as I expected. I used lemon yogurt, and even added some lemon extract, because I love lemon.. but the flavor wasn't strong at all. I'd still make these again though!

These were nice..I would have liked a little more lemon flavour, maybe some4lemon juice or extract added would be great...but the texture was good and these tasted great straight from the pan, didn't need anything on top.

I liked these very much. DH and DD did not. I thought they were very light and fluffy. Not overly sweet and very tasty.

I used plain yogurt and added zest of one lemon. I added more milk cause I like my pancakes less thick. I used vegetable oil. I omitted the nutmeg. I really loved the texture of the pancakes and the taste of lemon. I love the fact that there is only one egg. I'll do this again and may try with other flavor of yogurt.
