Perfect Fluffy Pancakes | With Homemade Maple Syrup

SIMPLE. EASY. QUICK. FLUFFY. The Perfect Fluffy Pancakes recipe you will fall in love with!
I’ve tried so many recipes using milk or buttermilk but none of it as fluffy as this recipe. These homemade Greek Yogurt Pancake so delicious and incredibly quick to whip up.

Do not overmix the batter, a few small lumps is perfect!

It all starts with the batter! The key to light and fluffy pancakes is mixing just until combined, it’s important not to over mix.

Don’t use electric beaters or a mixer, just whisk it by hand until it’s generally smooth, but you still can see a few small lumps. That way you know you’ll have tender fluffy light pancakes.

Cook until small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges lose it’s shine

You can add some toppings to the batter directly before flipping; such as Blueberries, Chocolate chips, slices bananas, nuts anything you like . Just drop them on the top of the pancake, distribute them evenly.

When you can see small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges lose it’s shine, that way you know it’s cooking from underneath and they are ready to flip (it will takes for about 1-2 minutes).

Homemade Maple Syrup can be store 2 months in the fridge

I love to pair them with my Homemade Maple Syrup. This Maple Syrup is low budget, simple, easy to make and it taste like pure Maple Syrup, how cool is that?

If you don’t like to use my Canadian style Maple Syrup, feel free to serve them with your favorite Nutella, fruit jams, chocolate sauce, caramel syrup or maybe a bit savory like cheese if you want.

Look how fluffy those are!

I love everything about these pancakes, they turns out perfect every single time! An amazing fluffy and light texture, they make me hungry as soon as I see them.

They are so tender and warm.
If you are making these on the weekend and you have a few extra left, just keep them in the fridge.
When it comes to Monday morning when you are in a hurry, just take them out from the fridge, pop  in the microwave or toaster for a few seconds, and you have got a quick breakfast on the go!

Start your mornings with these perfect pancakes, I’m sure that you will love them!
