Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2% works best)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened non-dairy), plus more if needed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free blend)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • Butter or neutral oil for the pan
  • For serving: maple syrup, yogurt, berry compote, nut butter, or chocolate sauce

Method
 

  1. Whisk the wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup or honey, vanilla, and milk until smooth. The mixture should be creamy and pourable.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Bring it together: Add the dry mixture to the wet and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix. If the batter seems too thick to pour, add a splash more milk until it’s thick but spoonable.
  4. Preheat the pan: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. You want it hot enough that a drop of water sizzles, but not smoking.
  5. Shape the dippers: Using a spoon or squeeze bottle, portion the batter into short “sticks” about 4–5 inches long and 1–1.5 inches wide. Leave space between each.
  6. Cook until bubbly: Cook for 2–3 minutes, until the edges look set and bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
  7. Adjust heat as needed: If they’re browning too fast, lower the heat slightly. Wipe and regrease the pan between batches for even browning.
  8. Serve warm: Plate with small bowls of maple syrup, yogurt, or fruit sauce for dipping. Enjoy immediately for the best texture.
