As it’s Pancake Tuesday, here’s a simple tip for your batter: consider adding a spoonful or two of our sheep’s yogurt. It adds a lovely tang and moisture to your pancakes, creating a softer texture. The natural acidity can also contribute to a lighter, fluffier result. I also like to put a big blob of yogurt on the cooked pancakes, it perfectly complements the heavy sweetness of the pancake itself.
Why this works?
Moisture: Yogurt adds moisture, preventing pancakes from becoming dry or tough.
Tanginess: It introduces a subtle tang that complements the sweetness of pancakes.
Tenderness: The acidity in yogurt tenderizes the gluten in the batter, resulting in softer pancakes.
Fluffiness: The acidity also reacts with the flour and eggs, creating a lighter, fluffier texture.
Nutritional Boost: Velvet Cloud sheep's yogurt is naturally high in protein and calcium, adding nutritional value.
