Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk

Added Flavors

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (Gruyère or Emmental recommended)
  • 1/2 cup diced ham

For Cooking

  • Butter or oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and milk until well combined. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring gently to create a smooth batter with no lumps. Incorporate the diced ham and shredded cheese evenly throughout the batter.
  2. Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil. Allow it to melt and coat the surface to prevent sticking and help the pancakes develop a golden crust.
  3. Cook the Pancakes: Pour small ladlefuls of batter onto the pan, spacing them a few inches apart to allow easy flipping. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on one side until bubbles appear and edges start setting, then gently flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove pancakes to a warm plate.
  4. Serve Warm: Serve the pancakes immediately while hot, enjoying the melty cheese and savory ham. These pancakes also reheat well if needed.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and tender.
  • Use quality ham for the best smoky flavor.
  • Be generous with the cheese for gooey, flavorful bites.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing the batch.
  • Test with one small pancake to gauge pan heat and doneness timing.
