1 egg, lightly beaten
2/3 c. natural yogurt, plain or vanilla
2/3 c. milk
1 1/4 c. self-rising flour**
1/4 tsp. salt or 2 tbsp. maple syrup
Vegetable oil for cooking
Fresh fruit or syrup
Whipped cream, optional

Mix together the beaten egg and the yogurt, then stir in the milk, flour and salt or maple syrup. Mix until you have a smooth batter. Heat a little oil in a frying pan until sizzling hot. Drop heaped tablespoons of batter into the pan, leaving plenty of space around each one, and flatten slightly with a spatula. They should spread to about 2 1/2 inches across. Cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned. Drizzle with maple syrup or fresh fruit and whipped cream.

**Self-rising flour: 6 cups flour, 3 tablespoon baking powder, 1 tablespoon salt. Sift together until well combined. Can be stored in an airtight container for months. Measure like regular flour.
