How to Make It
1. Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a bowl, crack the egg and add sugar and vanilla sugar (or extract). Whisk until creamy and smooth. Add the oil and yogurt, stirring constantly until well combined.
2. Add the Dry Ingredients
Sift flour and baking powder directly into the wet mixture. Gently fold until smooth and lump-free. (If it feels too thick, add a spoonful of yogurt.)
3. Cook It Up
Pour the batter into a lightly greased, non-stick pan.
Cover and cook on low heat for 10–15 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. The aroma will be incredible!
4. Serve and Enjoy
Let it cool slightly, then sprinkle with powdered sugar or top with fresh berries. You can also drizzle it with chocolate sauce or honey for an extra treat.
