Tip
Perfect homemade fluffy pancakes need to be fried to golden perfection. Frying them at medium heat in melted butter adds richness and gives them a slightly crispy edge combined with a tender centre. When the top side begins to bubble, gently flip it over and cook the other side until this too turns golden brown. While the first side should take 2-3 minutes to cook, the second side will cook much faster, in as little as 1 minute, so make sure to keep an eye on it.
Tip
Use about 60 ml of batter for a small pancake or a bit more if you enjoy a big fluffy pancake. Though you can use a regular pan, using one with low sides (like a pancake or blini pan) makes flipping the fluffy pancakes easier.

Sweet fluffy pancakes with labneh
You may have heard about making or serving fluffy pancakes with yoghurt, but have you ever tried labneh pancakes? A staple in Levantine cuisine for centuries, this drained yoghurt cheese product has become a breakfast classic for many. The wonderful combination of sweet and tangy flavours created by serving fluffy pancakes with labneh makes for a tasty, Middle Eastern twist on the classic breakfast dish.
Add a flavourful touch with labneh and dried cranberries
The labneh's fresh and tangy flavour as well as its soft, creamy texture makes it great as a spread or topping for many dishes. These pancakes are no exception! Their airy texture pairs wonderfully with the strained yoghurt cheese's lightness, and its slightly tart flavour brightens the sweet dish beautifully. With a sweetener like honey, it creates a rich, tasty topping.
Dried cranberries have a characteristic sweet-sour flavour. Though the small, red berries may look like raisins, they are quite different in respect to taste as they are much tarter. This bright flavour pairs well with the sweet and tangy flavours of these fluffy pancakes with labneh and honey. The decorative, chewy cranberries round out the dish and add a beautiful splash of colour.
