These were a nice change from regular pancakes made with yogurt instead of milk. We enjoyed them with a dollop of plain yogurt and pure maple syrup. Since childhood our family has enjoyed pancakes with sour cream and syrup. If you’ve never tried it you should.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1-1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Method:
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- In separate bowl whisk together the yogurt, eggs, oil or butter and vanilla.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients combining well.
- Heat pan to medium high to cook the pancakes with a combo of vegetable oil and butter.
- Use 1/3 cup measure to proportion the batter and end up with 8 uniform pancakes.
- Cook to a golden brown on one side and flip and cook the other side.
- Serve with your favorite toppings.
Yield: 8 pancakes

We did not grow up with the tradition of Pancake Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday, Mardi Gras or Lent. We have always joyously celebrated Easter ~ Resurrection Sunday. In fact we never stop celebrating Christ’s resurrection and what His death, burial and resurrection mean to us as Christians.
It is a good day for pancakes.

Hello,
I love pancakes, even for dinner! Yum, thanks for sharing.
Take care, enjoy your day!
…I love them.
Pancakes are a treat any day! Our celebrations are like yours . . . joyfully celebrating Resurrection Day, on that special day designated to celebrate, and all year ’round!
Sour cream and jam is good too!
Thank you for sharing the pancake recipe. I want to give those a try.
Looks delicious!
Hi Ellen,
Oh, this recipe looks sooo good! I’m going to pin it right now. :) Thank you for sharing — we love pancakes here.
It is good for Christians to celebrate (and be thankful for) Christ’s resurrection every day. Thank you, Ellen. Have a great week!
Warm hugs,
Denise at Forest Manor
Yummy.
I didn’t realize it was pancake day yesterday but we did have pancakes for breakfast. 🙂
Happy Shrove Tuesday, Ellen! Happy Valentine’s day tomorrow!
Oh! I almost forgot it was Shrove Tuesday! I will have to try your pancake recipe. It looks delicious!
Hmmm – pancakes with sour cream and syrup – doesn’t sound a likely combo, but I trust you implicitly when it comes to cooking and more importantly, eating!
I share your sentiment of celebrating the Resurrection always, and I appreciate the opportunity of Lent for a little self-sacrifice and deeper reflection.
Mouthwatering!
We do celebrate pancake day! The children just love it. We have English pancakes with lemon.
Ellen, we never have pancakes for breakfast, so sometimes I make them for dinner. I like them all—the thickish American pancakes, the thinnish English and Swedish Pancakes, and the super-thin crepes. And, yes, only pure maple syrup rather than maple-flavored corn syrup. Or sometimes jam.
I missed having pancakes on Tuesday – so I’m making it for dinner tonight! My mom always made potato pancakes – my favourite. Here goes …
