Choose a Savory Base Start with a simple pancake batter but reduce the sugar. Use all-purpose or whole wheat flour, and add a pinch of salt for balance. Instead of milk, try buttermilk or yogurt for a tangy taste.
Add Flavorful Herbs and Spices Fresh herbs like chives, cilantro, and parsley can enhance the taste. Garlic powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika add depth, while a pinch of red chili flakes gives a spicy kick.
Mix in Cheese for Richness Cheese makes everything better! Try shredded cheddar, parmesan, or feta for a rich, creamy texture. Cheese also helps create a crispy crust when cooked.
Add Protein for a Hearty Meal To make these pancakes filling, add cooked bacon, crumbled sausage, or diced ham. You can also use smoked salmon or shredded chicken for variety.
Include Vegetables for Freshness Finely chopped spinach, grated zucchini, or caramelized onions can add color and nutrition. Mushrooms and bell peppers bring a delicious umami taste.
Cook to Perfection Use a non-stick pan with a bit of butter or oil. Cook on medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
