Ingredients

• Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup (240g) Icelandic skyr (plain, unsweetened)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 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)
  • Fresh berries
  • Maple syrup or honey
  • A dollop of extra skyr

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. Mix Batter

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

4. Prepare Cooking Surface

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 a perfect texture, avoid overmixing the batter; leaving a few lumps helps keep the pancakes tender and fluffy. Use a well-heated, nonstick skillet to ensure even cooking and easy flipping. Lightly greasing the pan before each batch prevents sticking and adds a subtle golden crust.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Swap all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour to increase fiber content without sacrificing taste. Enhance flavor with lemon zest or a teaspoon of ground cinnamon for a warm, aromatic twist. For gluten-free options, use a certified gluten-free flour blend and substitute dairy milk with unsweetened plant-based milk, checking all labels for allergens.
