Preheat the Skillet: Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat. Ensure it’s well-heated before cooking the pancakes to achieve that perfect golden-brown texture.
Spoon the Batter: Using a tablespoon, spoon 1 tablespoon of the prepared batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Leave some space between each pancake to allow for spreading.
Cook the Pancakes: Cook the pancakes for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, flipping them once halfway through. You’ll know they’re ready when they’re golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
Serve: Once cooked, serve the pancakes immediately. Top each pancake with a dollop of salsa, a sprinkle of the remaining shredded cheddar cheese, and a garnish of sliced green onions for that extra burst of flavor.

Tips:

For added heat, you can adjust the amount of green chili or use a spicier variety.
Serve these pancakes as appetizers at your next gathering for a unique and flavorful bite-sized treat.
Experiment with different types of cheese to customize the flavor profile to your liking.
