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.

In a large bowl, whisk together skyr, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

2.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3.

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

4.

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.

5.

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 with remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

7.

Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, maple syrup, and a dollop of skyr.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Für noch luftigere Pancakes den Teig nach dem Zusammenrühren kurz ruhen lassen. Achte darauf, den Teig nicht zu lange zu rühren, damit die Pancakes locker bleiben. Die Pfanne sollte gut vorgeheizt sein — so bekommen die Pancakes eine perfekte goldene Farbe.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Du kannst das Rezept ganz einfach mit Vollkornmehl für zusätzliche Ballaststoffe variieren oder eine glutenfreie Mehlmischung verwenden. Für noch mehr Geschmack füge Zitronenschale oder etwas Zimt zum Teig hinzu. Die Pancakes schmecken zudem mit verschiedenen Toppings, z.B. frischem Obst oder einer Prise Nüssen.

Serviervorschläge

Die frisch gebackenen Skyr-Pancakes am besten warm servieren, getoppt mit einer Extraportion Skyr, einem Schuss Ahornsirup oder Honig und einer Auswahl an frischen Beeren. Auch geröstete Nüsse oder warme Kompott-Soßen passen hervorragend dazu.
