Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil or butter for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, and egg until evenly combined. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, stirring gently with a whisk until just combined. Some lumps are okay.
Fold in the grated cheese until thoroughly incorporated into the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with the cooking oil or butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes, until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the cheese pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, chives, or additional cheese.
