Best Greek Yogurt Pancakes
Best Greek Yogurt Pancakes blend tangy Greek yogurt with warm spices and lemon for a tender flapjack with a balanced, slightly sweet flavor. The batter's thick texture yields fluffy pancakes with a moist crumb, achieved by combining yogurt, eggs, and a touch of milk as needed. Lemon zest and juice brighten the batter, complemented by cinnamon's subtle warmth. Cooking on a greased griddle until bubbly and golden results in pancakes suitable for a breakfast or brunch treat, served with butter or syrup.

- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup Greek yogurt any flavor or original
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 egg lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons milk only if needed

Instructions
- Preheat an electric griddle to 350 degrees F. Or place a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

- In another small bowl whisk: sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and whisk until completely smooth.
- If the batter is too thick, add a bit of the milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is obtained.
- Melt the butter on the hot griddle or skillet and move it around to coat the whole surface.
- Pour ¼ cup portions of pancake batter 2 inches apart.
- Cook until bubbles start forming in the batter and the sides become set, about 2-4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
