Ingredients:

• 200 g all-purpose flour
• 2 plain yogurts (125g each)
• 3 fresh eggs
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 sachet of vanilla sugar
• 250 ml of water
• 1 tablespoon sunflower oil or neutral oil
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and vanilla sugar. Create a well in the center and add the eggs. Gently whisk the eggs into the dry ingredients, incorporating them gradually to avoid lumps.
2. Add the water and yogurt: Slowly pour in half of the water and mix until the batter is smooth. Add the yogurt and continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth. Pour in the remaining water and vanilla extract and mix until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
3. Let the dough rest: Let the dough rest for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend and the texture to improve. However, if you are short on time, you can use the dough immediately.
4. Cook the pancakes: Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. Pour a ladleful of batter into the center of the pan, rotating it to coat the surface. Cook the crepe for 1 to 2 minutes on one side until the edges start to lift, then flip it and cook for another minute on the other side. Repeat this process until all the batter is used.
5. Serve: Serve the crepes warm with your favorite toppings, whether it’s fruit, whipped cream, chocolate or simply a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
