Ingredients

• 1 large egg

• 1 tablespoon plain yogurt (unsweetened)

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 3 tablespoons cornstarch

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

1. In a medium-sized bowl, crack the egg and lightly beat it using a whisk or fork until well mixed.

2. Add the yogurt and salt to the beaten egg, then stir well to combine.

3. Gradually add the cornstarch, mixing continuously until the batter is smooth and lump-free.

4. Finally, sprinkle in the baking powder and gently mix until just incorporated. Don’t overmix – you want the batter to stay light and airy.

Step 2: Cook the Bread

1. Lightly grease a non-stick skillet with a small amount of oil or cooking spray.

2. Preheat the skillet over low heat for about a minute.

3. Pour the batter into the skillet and spread it evenly into a round shape using the back of a spoon.

4. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the bread cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the top starts to set.

5. Carefully flip the bread using a spatula and cook the other side for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 3: Serve and Enjoy

• Once both sides are golden and the bread is fully cooked, remove it from the skillet.

• Let it cool slightly, then slice or tear and serve warm.

• Enjoy it plain, with butter, jam, cheese, or any of your favorite spreads!

Tips & Variations

• Add chopped herbs, shredded cheese, or a pinch of garlic powder to the batter for extra flavor.

• For a sweet version, reduce the salt and add a teaspoon of sugar or honey.

• Best served fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in a skillet.
