LEMON YOGURT PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY TOPPING

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, yogurt, eggs, lemon zest and vanilla in a separate bowl. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. If the mixture is too dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk to thin it out. Allow the batter to rest at least 15 minutes.
• Preheat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Coat with the griddle or skillet with butter or nonstick spray. Ladle the pancake batter on the griddle. Cook until bubbles begin to form and the bottom of the pancake is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. Keep the pancakes warm in the oven until ready to serve. Top with Blueberry Topping and serve warm.
• Combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat. Use a fork to gently mash some of the blueberries and release their juices. Cook until the sugar completely dissolves, 5 to 7 minutes.

LEMON YOGURT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 1/2 by 4 1/4 by 2 1/2-inch loaf pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper. Grease and flour the pan.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into 1 bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, 1 cup sugar, the eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla. Slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. With a rubber spatula, fold the vegetable oil into the batter, making sure it's all incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 50 minutes, or until a cake tester placed in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
• Meanwhile, cook the 1/3 cup lemon juice and remaining 1/3 cup sugar in a small pan until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is clear. Set aside.
• When the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully place on a baking rack over a sheet pan. While the cake is still warm, pour the lemon-sugar mixture over the cake and allow it to soak in. Cool.
• For the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice and pour over the cake.
