Easy Savory Pancakes Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp onion powder (optional)
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup milk (you can use buttermilk for more flavor)
- 2 tbsp melted butter or olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated cheese (cheddar, parmesan, or any cheese of your choice)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions or chives (optional)
- 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the dry ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until combined.
-
Add the wet ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk together until smooth. Add the melted butter (or olive oil) and whisk again to combine.
-
Mix wet and dry ingredients:
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix — a few lumps are okay.
-
Add cheese and flavorings:
- Fold in the grated cheese and any optional ingredients, like green onions, chives, or crumbled bacon or sausage.
-
Cook the pancakes:
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve:
- Serve your savory pancakes warm with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of extra cheese, or a drizzle of hot sauce for a little kick!
Tips:
- You can also add finely chopped spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for added flavor and texture.
- If you want a more decadent touch, try serving these pancakes with a fried egg on top.
- These pancakes pair well with a simple side of mixed greens or a light salad.
