Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup pepperoni (chopped)
- 0.33 cup pizza sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (optional)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
Gently fold in the shredded mozzarella, chopped pepperoni, pizza sauce, and Italian seasoning. If desired, mix in the chopped fresh basil for extra flavor.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil.
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread gently with the back of the spoon to form a circle.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve warm with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
