FLUFFY LEMON SKYR PANCAKES
Light and zesty with an ever so slightly chewy texture, these Fluffy Lemon Skyr Pancakes are a delicious, healthier pancake option. And the lemon - yogurt pairing is one of perfection.
Equipment
- Grater
- Small chopping board
- Scales / cup measures
- Large metal spoon
- Frying pan
- Turner
- Batter bottle optional
Ingredients
- 150 g Skyr 0% fat, natural yogurt
- 150 ml milk
- 2 eggs
- 200 g plain flour / all-purpose
- 30 g caster or white sugar or 1 tbps honey/agave
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon bicarbonate soda baking soda
- 2 lemons zested see note 1
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
- Butter
- Maple syrup
- Blueberries
Instructions
- Add the Skyr yogurt, milk and eggs to a mixing bowl and beat until well combined with an electric hand whisk.
- Add in the flour, sugar, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) and whisk again until you have a smooth batter.
- Then add in the lemon zest and fold it through with a large spoon.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over a large size ring on a high heat for around 1 minute. Then turn the heat down to medium-low. Grease the pan with a little butter or oil. Add your pancake batter to the the pan using a batter bottle or serving spoon, I do one spoonful for smaller pancakes and two for large. Cook the first side until it has several bubbles and is golden brown underneath and then flip. Cook until the underneath is golden brown. I cook mine for anywhere between 45 secs - 1 min 15 seconds per side. Best served straight from the pan, but to keep the pancakes warm while you cook them all, transfer them to a plate in the oven at 50ºc (note that this may reduce thickness and fluffiness of pancakes).
Notes
Note 1: buy unwaxed lemons, or remove the wax by putting them in a sieve or colander and pouring boiling hot kettle water over them. Then immediately rub the melted wax off with a paper towel.
Baby & Toddler
You can sub the white sugar for agave if you like. Best thing to do is make baby a couple of mini pancakes. If they can’t hold them with two hands, you can just cut them in half for them to grip with one fist. You can serve with fresh fruit like squashed blueberries.
