I am revisiting a very familiar and much-loved family recipe for Yogurt Pancakes. One of my readers asked a question regarding baking powder vs baking soda. She was on a quest to make her daughter light fluffy pancakes. The tricky part was making a fluffy pancake without eggs due to an egg allergy.
Once again, another reader, being a celiac, wanted so much to try these pancakes. I adapted this recipe again to accommodate her dietary concerns and issues. Since she was able to tolerate dairy products, I was able to use milk. There are, of course, other options for dairy milk, such as substituting rice milk, coconut milk or almond milk or even fruit juice.
