Cheese Pancakes

on

Yield: 3 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp rosemary
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup + 1 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3/4 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 lb. sliced mozzarella
  • 1/2 lb. sliced white cheddar
  • Spiced maple syrup
    • 1 1/2 cup maple syrup
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1/2 tsp cayenne
    • 1/2 tsp parika

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, onion powder, and rosemary.
  2. Whisk in the egg, milk, and oils.
  3. On a warm griddle, pour the pancake batter to be slightly larger than your cheese slices.  Immediately top with one slice of each cheese, and then pour just enough batter over the top to cover the cheese.
    • Experiment with other cheeses, or try sprinkling some grated parmesan between the two layers.
  4. When browned, flip and cook the other side.
  5. Remove from the griddle and keep warm until ready to serve.
  6. While the pancakes are cooking, make the spicy maple syrup by combining all ingredients in a small saucepan.  Warm over low heat without letting it boil.  Remove from the heat and pour through a fine mesh strainer to remove the spice solids.
  7. Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup.
