Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

You can, but you'll need to thicken it up first! Regular yogurt is too thin - strain it through cheesecloth for an hour or use ¾ cup yogurt + ¼ cup less milk. The batter needs that thick Greek yogurt texture to hold its shape on the griddle.

Why did my pancakes turn out flat?

Three likely culprits: expired baking powder (check the date!), overmixed batter (stop when just combined!), or wrong heat (medium is perfect - too hot and they won't rise properly). My first batch always tells me if I need to adjust anything!

Can I make the batter ahead?

Overnight? Not ideal - the baking powder loses its oomph. But you can mix dry and wet ingredients separately the night before, then combine in the morning. The batter keeps its fluff for about 30 minutes at room temp.

Are these pancakes freezer-friendly?

Absolutely! Let them cool completely, then freeze in single layers with parchment between. They reheat beautifully in the toaster - crisp outside, tender inside, just like fresh!
