Ingredients

1 egg, separated
1 egg white
1⁄2 cup yogurt
3 tablespoons flour
1⁄4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon sugar
  Pinch of salt
1⁄2 teaspoon butter
1⁄4 cup pomegranate seeds (or other fruit)
  maple syrup

Instructions

Separate one egg. Combine yolk in a small bowl with the yogurt, flour and vanilla extract. Stir well with a fork.

Separate the second egg. In a larger bowl, beat the two egg whites, sugar, and salt until they are fluffy and hold a soft peak.

Scrape about a third of the egg whites into the yolk-yogurt mixture and stir to lighten. Very gently, fold in the rest of the egg whites, trying not to deflate them.

Melt the butter in a small nonstick pan over medium-low heat. When the pan is hot, add half of the batter. Cook 3-4 minutes, until brown, then flip and cook 3-4 minutes on the reverse side. Repeat with the remainder of the batter.

Top with pomegranate seeds and a thin slice of butter. Serve with syrup.
