Description:
These fluffy cornmeal yogurt pancakes are not just a breakfast delight but also a fun activity to engage your little one in the kitchen. Wholesome and nutritious, they’re perfect for tiny hands to help prepare and even more satisfying to devour. While they’re delicious with just a pat of butter, the real magic happens when you drench them in maple syrup, allowing it to seep into every fluffy crevice.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk (or as needed to make 2 1/4 cups liquid)
Instructions:
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, whole wheat pastry flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar. Whisk together until well combined.
-
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate 2+ cup measuring cup, beat the egg. Then, add the vanilla yogurt to the beaten egg.
-
Add Milk: Pour enough milk (whether soy, cow, a mixture of cream and water, or even just water) into the measuring cup containing the beaten egg and yogurt mixture to make a total of 2 1/4 cups of liquid.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the liquid mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. If there are any lumps, gently mash them with the back of your spoon or spatula.
-
Cook Pancakes: Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, pour the pancake batter onto the griddle using an ice cream scoop or a 1/4 cup measuring cup.
-
Flip and Cook: When bubbles start to form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set, gently lift one edge to check if the underside is golden brown. Once browned, carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another minute or until the other side is golden brown as well.
-
Serve: Remove the pancakes from the griddle and serve them warm. Top with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or any other toppings of your choice.
These fluffy cornmeal yogurt pancakes are sure to become a family favorite, cherished for their delightful taste and the joy they bring to the kitchen. Enjoy making memories and savoring each delicious bite! ๐ฅ๐ด
