Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus additional for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins
- ½ cup blueberries, chocolate chips, or diced fruit
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined to ensure even rising and flavor distribution.
- Incorporate wet ingredients: Add the eggs, milk, Greek yogurt or sour cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk gently until just combined, leaving some lumps intact to keep the batter light.
- Add optional ingredients: Gently fold in any selected add-ins such as blueberries, chocolate chips, or diced fruit, being careful not to overmix to maintain fluffiness.
- Preheat skillet and grease: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with butter to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Cook the batter: Pour the batter into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges start to set but the center remains loose.
- Scramble and fold batter: Using a spatula, gently scramble the batter much like scrambled eggs, folding it over itself to create large, fluffy curds.
- Finish cooking: Continue cooking and folding the batter for 3 to 4 more minutes until the pancake curds are fully cooked through and have turned lightly golden.
- Serve warm: Transfer the scrambled pancakes to plates immediately and serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your preferred toppings for a delicious breakfast experience.

- Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
