Description
Cheese and Chive Pancakes are a delicious and savory breakfast option, perfect for cheese lovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives until evenly distributed.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream or additional chives.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the batter.
- Substitute the cheddar cheese with feta or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
