Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.75 cup mini pepperoni slices
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cup pizza sauce (for serving)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, mini pepperoni slices, and Italian seasoning until evenly distributed.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter slightly if needed.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with a side of pizza sauce for dipping. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley for extra color and flavor.
