Instructions
1. Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a bowl, whisk the egg, yogurt, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
2. Add Dry Ingredients:
Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently mix until you get a thick, lump-free batter. Avoid overmixing.
3. Heat the Pan:
Lightly grease a non-stick pan with butter or oil and warm it over low to medium heat.
4. Cook the Pancake:
Pour the batter into the center of the pan. Cover with a lid and cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and the edges are set.
Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
5. Serve:
Transfer to a plate and serve warm with honey, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of chocolate.

Description
This pancake is incredibly soft inside, slightly crisp on the outside, and delightfully tangy thanks to the yogurt. The egg gives it richness and fluffiness, while the baking powder helps it rise beautifully — no yeast, no oven required. The flavor is lightly sweet, making it versatile for both sweet and savory toppings.

Tips
For a richer flavor, use Greek yogurt.
If the batter is too thick, add 1 teaspoon of milk or water.
Cook on low heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
To make it extra fluffy, separate the egg white, whisk it until frothy, and fold it in last.
Serve immediately for the best texture.

Variations
Chocolate Pancake: Add 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder to the batter.
Banana Pancake: Mash half a banana and mix it with the yogurt before adding flour.
Savory Pancake: Skip the sugar and vanilla; add a pinch of pepper, chopped herbs, or cheese.
Protein Boost: Stir in a spoon of protein powder or nut butter.

Correction
If your pancake turns out dense, it could be due to:
Overmixing the batter — stir gently just until combined.
High heat — cook on low to medium for a soft texture.
Too little baking powder — make sure it’s fresh and properly measured.
