Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 whole egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup Spam (diced into small cubes)
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil or butter (for frying)
- maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil or butter in the skillet. Add the diced Spam and sauté until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
Transfer the cooked Spam to a plate lined with a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Gently fold the crispy Spam into the pancake batter using a spatula.
Lightly grease the skillet or griddle with additional butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the Spamcakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup if desired. Enjoy!
