all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cake flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

🥗Healthier: low-fat yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk with vinegar

Low-fat yogurt provides similar tanginess with fewer calories.

1

Start by making clarified butter: put cold butter in a pan over medium or medium-high heat until milk solids separate from the fat.

2

Skim off the milk solids and pour the clarified butter into a bowl.

3

Crack 2 egg yolks into a mixing bowl.

4

Add lemon zest to the egg yolks.

5

Cream the sugar with the egg yolks and lemon zest until well combined.

6

Add salt and baking powder to the mixture and whisk to activate the baking powder.

7

Add milk to the mixture and whisk until smooth.

8

Incorporate flour little by little to avoid clumps, mixing until you achieve a cake-batter consistency.

9

Add melted clarified butter to the batter and mix until glossy.

10

Heat clarified butter in a pan until smoking hot, then add more butter to cool it down slightly.

11

Pour batter into the hot pan and cook until bubbles form on the surface.

12

Flip the pancake when bubbles appear and cook until golden brown, tapping to check for doneness.

13

If necessary, flip again to brown the other side and ensure it is cooked through.
