👨🍳 How to Make It (Step-by-step)
✔️ Step 1: Mix the dry ingredients
Combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar in a bowl.
💡 Tip: Sift the flour for extra fluffy pancakes.
✔️ Step 2: Whisk the wet ingredients
In another bowl, mix the egg, skyr, oil, lemon juice, and zest.
💡 Tip: Use room-temperature egg for smoother blending.
✔️ Step 3: Combine wet and dry mixtures
Pour wet ingredients into the dry bowl, stirring gently until just combined.
💡 Tip: Do not overmix — lumps are fine and keep the texture light.
✔️ Step 4: Preheat the pan
Heat a non-stick pan on medium and lightly oil it.
💡 Tip: Use a brush to spread oil evenly for golden pancakes.
✔️ Step 5: Pour the batter
Spoon batter into the pan, forming small rounds.
💡 Tip: Keep pancakes small for better fluff and even cooking.
✔️ Step 6: Cover while cooking
Cook each pancake for about 2 minutes on one side with a lid.
💡 Tip: The lid traps steam, creating a softer interior.
✔️ Step 7: Flip carefully
Turn pancakes once bubbles appear and edges firm up.
💡 Tip: Use a thin spatula to prevent tearing.
✔️ Step 8: Finish cooking
Cook the second side for 1–2 minutes until golden.
💡 Tip: Don’t press the pancakes down — let them rise naturally.
✔️ Step 9: Serve immediately
Stack pancakes on a warm plate and top as desired.
💡 Tip: Keep them warm in a low oven if serving later.
✔️ Step 10: Enjoy
Drizzle honey, scatter fruits, or dust with sugar.
💡 Tip: Pair with fresh berries for a gourmet finish.
