Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
  • pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tablespoons of melted butter or neutral tasting oil
  • 1 cup of Yogurt Greek or regular, any fat concentration you prefer
  • 2 Tablespoons of sugar
  • 1 teaspoons of vanilla
  • Rainbow sprinkles to your taste --about 3 tablespoons
  • Oil for greasing the skillet as needed

Cream Cheese Glaze:

  • 2 ounces of room temperature softened cream cheese full fat, low fat or fat free-your preference
  • 1/2 cup of confectioner’s sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons of milk any type

Instructions

  1. Preheat a non stick skillet over medium low heat or an electric griddle. Bruch the surface with the oil and then use a tissue to gently wipe the excess oil.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the dry ingredients together. Set aside.
  3. In a bigger bowl, mix the wet ingredients together and set aside.
  4. Take a spatula and then add the dry ingredients bowl to the wet ingredients bowl. Mix until they blend together. Avoid over mixing the batter, a few lumps are ok to remain.
  5. Take a 1/4 cup measuring scoop and fill it with the batter, then pour that over the preheated skillet or griddle. Wait for a few seconds until the edges start to bubble, then gently flip the pancake and cook for another 30 seconds or so until golden. Repeat with the remaining batter, oiling the skillet and swiping any excess oil after each pancake.
  6. Stack your pancakes in two's three's or more and glaze with the cream cheese vanilla glaze, adding extra sprinkles if you like :) Enjoy!
  7. For the Cream Cheese Glaze: Place all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk them up. If the icing feels to thick, add milk a little bit at a time and whisk to make sure it doesn’t thin out. If you feel the icing is too thin, add a tablespoon of cream cheese with a tablespoon of confectioner sugar and whisk it in.For the citrus flavours, add the zest of 1 citrus of your choice and substitute the milk with the juice of that citrus.
