Equipment
- Electric Griddle
Ingredients
For the pancakes:
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 ½ cups plain yogurt or 2 cups buttermilk
- ½ cup butter melted
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
For the syrup:
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 1 cup plain yogurt we like the Mountain High brand
- ½ cup butter
- 3 tablespoons corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
For the Pancakes
- Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. If it seems too thick, stir in milk a little at a time until it reaches a good "pancake batter" consistency.
- Pour 1/2 cup pancake batter into a buttered skittle over medium heat. When pancake batter begins to bubble in the center it is ready to flip.
- Cook for another minute then remove from skillet.
- Serve with butter and syrup.
For the Syrup
- Bring sugar, butter, yogurt, and corn syrup to a boil in a large pot over medium high heat. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and whisk constantly for 5 minutes.
- Add baking soda and vanilla. The baking soda will make it boil high so make sure you use a large pot.
- Remove from stove and serve over pancakes, waffles, or french toast. (The syrup will be thin-- this is normal. After it cools off a bit it thickens up. Store any extra syrup in the fridge for later use.)

Notes
Leftovers:
- The protein, calcium, and vitamin goodness of these yogurt pancakes can last longer than breakfast! If you have some leftovers from your morning batch, place them in an airtight container and place them in the fridge. To reheat, you can pop them in the toaster.
- They will last for 2 days in the fridge.
