Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter, for cooking
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the milk and eggs together until well combined. Slowly add the melted butter while whisking to incorporate.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; some lumps are okay.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives until evenly distributed in the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add about 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or butter.
Once the skillet is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the cheese pancakes hot, with a dollop of sour cream or alongside crispy bacon, if desired.
