FAQs
Can I use flavored Greek yogurt?
Yes, vanilla Greek yogurt works great but you might want less honey. Avoid yogurts with fruit chunks already mixed in for the best texture.
Why are my pancakes flat?
Check your baking powder and soda to ensure they are fresh. Also, make sure you do not overmix the batter once combined.
Can I make this batter ahead of time?
It is best to cook the batter immediately for the fluffiest results possible. The leavening agents start working as soon as they hit the liquid.
