Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 strips of cooked bacon, crumbled
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 4 strips of cooked bacon (crumbled), and butter for cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, beat the large egg and then add the milk. Mix well until the egg is fully incorporated into the milk.
- Pour the wet ingredients (egg and milk mixture) into the dry ingredients (flour mixture). Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon into the batter. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter and allow it to melt, coating the surface of the skillet.
- Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 3-4 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm in a low oven while you repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the savory bacon cheddar pancakes warm, garnished with additional crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese if desired. Enjoy your delicious American-style breakfast!
Tips
- • For the most tender pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter - a few lumps are perfectly fine and will help keep your pancakes light and fluffy. • Use room temperature milk and egg for better ingredient integration and smoother batter. • Cook bacon beforehand and let it cool slightly before crumbling to prevent burning your fingers. • Ensure your skillet is at medium heat - too hot, and the pancakes will burn; too cool, and they won't develop a nice golden crust. • For extra crispiness, consider using a cast-iron skillet. • If you want to keep pancakes warm while cooking the entire batch, place them on a baking sheet in a low-temperature oven (around 200°F/95°C). • Experiment with different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar or smoked gouda for unique flavor profiles.
