In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. *If you have griddle or flat top, then preheat it to medium-high. |
|
|
|
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and oil. |
|
|
To mix the batter, first push the dry ingredients to one side of the bowl and then pour the wet ingredients into the opposite side. Then slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet. As soon as the batter comes together, stop mixing. |

Before you start cooking, make sure your griddle is nice and hot. If you do not have a griddle, then preheat a fry pan (preferably non-stick) to medium or medium-high. Once hot, ladle about 1/2 to 1 cup of batter onto the griddle. Let the pancakes cook until you start to see bubbles break the surface. Then flip and continue to cook on the other side. It should take about 3 to 5 minutes to cook the pancakes, but this will depend on your heat source, and how thick your pancakes are. Once done, serve immediately with butter and maple syrup. |
Swiss Cheese Pancakes: Yes, it may sound weird, but I am here to tell you they are really good.
To make them, thinly slice 2 pieces of Swiss cheese per pancake. Then as the pancake is cooking on the first side, lay the cheese onto the raw batter. When you flip the pancake over the cheese will sort of melt and brown slightly.
Once done serve with butter and maple syrup and you are in for a treat. It's that whole "sweet and savory" thing all in one.
Comments
Made it. Very nice. A nice option was adding also some thin slices of apple, toghether with the cheese. It caramelizes and goes very well with the chesse. Thanks.
I halved the recipe and served them with carmelized apples to both my girls. I was regretful I hadn't made the full recipe because I would have had seconds they were just that good. I'd say without a doubt these are the best pancakes I've ever made in my house....of course don't tell Aunt Jemima that.
I use an the same amount of melted butter instead of the oil, and it works incredibly well, giving the pancakes a sweet, nutty richness.
Oh, and I would say that buttermilk is essential here.
I am always a fan of substituting butter with oil, wherever I can. And just to be clear for those reading this, you mean the oil in the pancakes, not the oil used to cook them...right!
Good idea! thanks dawn
I tried the cheese thing and it was just delicious! I loved them. Really good. My family loved them too, and they're not big fans of pancakes.
We used to cater to film sets and film crews and actors alike, loved these. Sound a bit strange but they are amazing.
