Japanese hot cake recipe from scratch

I found this recipe somewhere, and tried it out, and fairly like it. Only difference is that I used plain greek yogurt and didn't have baking powder. Because of no baking powder the pancakes weren't fluffy looking. Also the recipe was in metrics, I had to roughly convert the measurement to the lousy usa measurements.

Ingredient:
1 egg
3 tbs sugar or more if want sweet
pinch of salt
.5 cup (overflowing a bit) milk
2 tbs plain yogurt
1.3 tbs butter
1.2 cup cake flour or make your own: (1cup of flour - 2tbs of flour)+(2tbs of cornflour)
1.5 tsp baking powder
oil for pan

Purpose:
1. sift(mix) together cake flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl. set aside.
2. microwave together butter and milk until melted then add in yogurt and mix well.
3. in another bowl, whisk egg and sugar until thick & pale.
4. add milk and egg mixture into flour mixture. briefly fold and cut
through the mixture and do not overmix.
5. heat skillet over low heat. grease and drop a landful of batter onto the skillet, cook until bubbles appear on the surface. flip over and cook for one or two minutes until cooked and golden brown. repeat until all batter has been used up.
6. serve with butter and maple syrup.
