Our yogurt pancakes have a special ingredient that makes them extra fluffy. That's right; it's the yogurt, and it reacts with other ingredients to create pancakes that are unusually light and airy, just the way you like them.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
2 cups plain yogurt
1/4 cup water
Optional: Semisweet chocolate chips, dried cranberries, sliced ripe bananas and coarsely chopped pecans

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt and water. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a hot griddle coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with optional ingredients if desired. Turn when bubbles form on top; cook until the second side is golden brown.
