Little fluffy pancakes

The way to a woman's/man's heart is through the stomach etc etc etc...

I wonder who said that for the first time! Tried to find out while writing this post so I asked Google but it had nothing to tell me. Apart from the fact that there was a recent study that actually supports that yada yada yada....
Maybe that is true if the food you are cooking is above average. Otherwise just forget about it!

But if you are a new food blogger or an aspiring one or just a home cook who loves to experiment beware! I have some tips for you!
If you are testing a new recipe and you are just starting to get it right do not give any to your significant other to try! Because you will be in trouble and the nagging will never end. Make your tests and when you feel that you are closing to your goal then give her or him to try... They will feel good because they are helping you and giving you insight and you will be happy as well!

BUT if it is Saturday morning and you are first testing a pancake recipe and he/she says, I want to try you must be like a rock and decline!!! Because it will taste bad, the baking soda will give the pancake a soapy taste or will be too sweet or less sweet and what sort of a cook are you'd you cannot even make a pancake etc etc!

At least I do not suffer from all of that! nothing but support I have at home!
Do try this recipe though... make the pancakes small and have them with a lot of fruit and little syrup... Just like the adults you are supposed to be!

Diffuculty: 1 of 3

Duration:20 minutes

Serves:2 people

Ingredients

30g butter and extra for cooking

15g of sugar

1 pinch of salt

1 medium egg

150g of yogurt (if it is too strained add 30g of milk as well.. if not then 180g of yogurt is enough

30g milk if needed

1/2 tsp baking soda

130g all purpose flour

Method

In a big bowl you melt the butter halfway. Add the sugar and salt and mix well with a whisk.
Add half the yoghurt and the egg. Mixx very well with the whisk.

Add the rest of the yoghurt, the milk if using it and baking soda.

Add the flour and mix with the spoon just till the mixtures combines. Soda already reacts with yoghurt and milk and produces air bubbles in the batter. If you mix too much then the pancakes will not be as fluffy.

We need the batter to be thick. So thick that we need to help it with another spoon or our finger to slide in the pan. You may think that it is too thick but it is not... it is just right.

Add some butter in a pan and heat it up in medium heat. Turn down the heat to low and add spoonfuls of the batter. Cook for 5 minutes total on both sides or until the pancakes are nice and golden.

Serve with syrup and a lot of fruit, some yogurt and edible flowers..
You can make them savoury as well.. Omit sugar and add grated cheese and pieces of ham. If batter is too thick use a couple of spoonfuls of milk to thin it up a bit.

Original recipe I found at smitten kitchen of course!
