Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or butter (for greasing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
Fold in the shredded Cheddar cheese and chopped chives (if using) until evenly distributed in the batter.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil or butter.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them out to allow room for spreading.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Remove the cooked pancakes from the skillet and keep warm under a clean kitchen towel or in a low-temperature oven while cooking the remaining batter.
Serve the cheddar pancakes warm as is or with a dollop of sour cream, additional chopped chives, or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.
