Fluffy Earl Grey Pancakes
Description
This recipe transforms traditional pancakes by steeping Earl Grey tea in hot milk, which is then combined with wet ingredients including egg, melted butter, vanilla, lemon zest, and plain yogurt. The dry ingredients of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar are sifted into the wet mixture and gently folded to maintain fluffiness. Cooking on a greased griddle yields pancakes that are light and tender with a faint citrus and bergamot note from the tea and lemon zest. Fresh blueberries served on the side add burst of sweetness and freshness.
The pancakes are ideal for a morning meal where the gentle tea flavor can be appreciated without overpowering other breakfast items. They offer a subtle variation for those who enjoy tea beyond a beverage. Cooking time is short, and multiple pancakes can be made at once depending on pan size.
