Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup cheese, shredded
- 1 egg, well-beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 egg whites
Instructions
-
Prepare Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Sift the dry ingredients together to ensure a smooth batter texture.
-
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the well-beaten egg and milk until well combined.
-
Gradually Mix: Slowly pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring quickly to avoid lumps.
-
Add Cheese: Once the batter is smooth, gently fold in the shredded cheese until evenly distributed.
-
Melt Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until completely liquefied.
-
Incorporate Butter: Gradually add the melted butter to the batter, stirring continuously for even distribution.
-
Beat Egg Whites: In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
-
Fold in Egg Whites: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter. This step adds lightness and fluffiness to the pancakes.
-
Cook Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet and spread it slightly with the back of the ladle to form a round shape.
-
Flip Pancakes: Cook the pancakes for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
-
Serve: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a serving plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
-
Enjoy: Serve the Cheese Pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, honey, or fresh fruit.
Tips
- For extra flavor, try adding herbs like chives or parsley to the batter.
- To make the pancakes even more decadent, sprinkle some additional shredded cheese on top just before flipping.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
- If you prefer thinner pancakes, simply add a little more milk to the batter until reaching your desired consistency.
- Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster or microwave before serving.
