Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or butter (for cooking)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter.
Using a ladle or 1/4-cup measure, pour the batter onto the skillet to form small circles.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the hotcakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve the cheese hotcakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, chives, or a drizzle of honey for a sweet-savory twist.
