Ingredients

1 1/3 cups Greek yogurt, more for serving
2/3 cup whole milk
4 large eggs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, more for frying
2 tablespoons honey
260 grams all-purpose flour (about 2 cups)
12 grams baking soda (about 2 teaspoons)
12 grams kosher salt (about 1 teaspoon)
2 1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds
Finely grated zest of 2 lemons
Jam, for serving

Steps:

In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt, milk, eggs, butter and honey. In a separate larger bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the dry ingredients and fold in the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the poppy seeds and lemon zest.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a pat of butter to the skillet and swirl to coat. Working in batches, drop 1/4 cup batter into the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, 2 to 3 minutes; flip and continue cooking until golden and firm, 1 to 2 minutes more. To serve, slather each pancake with a dollop of yogurt and a spoonful of jam.
