  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk (dairy or unsweetened non-dairy)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Dry Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup (90g) all-purpose flour (or substitute whole wheat flour)
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar (optional, or sweetener of choice)
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
• For Cooking
  • Butter or oil, for greasing the pan
• To Serve (Optional)

Instructions

1. Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together skyr, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

2. Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Combine Mixtures

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

4. Prepare Pan

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.

5. Cook Pancakes

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until small bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.

6. Repeat

Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

7. Serve

Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, maple syrup, and a dollop of skyr.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For added fiber and heartiness, substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour. To further boost flavor, consider adding the zest of one lemon or a teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the batter. If you need a gluten-free option, use a certified gluten-free flour blend to maintain the fluffy texture.

Varianten und Anpassungen

This recipe is naturally vegetarian and allows for easy dietary adaptations. Swap dairy milk for your preferred unsweetened non-dairy alternative to suit vegan preferences (note allergens). Adjust sweetness with your preferred sweetener or omit it altogether. For a different twist, fold in fresh berries or chopped nuts directly into the batter before cooking.
