Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup milk (room temperature)

Fillings and Cooking

  • 1/2 cup diced ham
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (Gruyère, Emmental, or cheddar recommended)
  • Butter or oil (for cooking)

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, then slowly mix in the milk until well combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mix, stirring gently just until smooth to avoid overmixing.
  2. Add Ham and Cheese: Fold in the diced ham and grated cheese evenly through the batter, ensuring each pancake will be packed with savory goodness.
  3. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to grease the surface. Allow it to melt and coat the pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and to promote even browning.
  4. Cook the Pancakes: Pour small scoops of batter, about 3-4 inches in diameter, onto the hot pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges appear set. Flip carefully and cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes until golden and fully cooked.
  5. Keep Warm and Serve: Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate or place in an oven set to low heat to keep them hot and melty while finishing the rest of the batch.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and milk for a smoother batter and better rise.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain tender pancakes.
  • If using thicker or raw ham, pre-cook by sautéing briefly before adding.
  • Maintain medium heat to cook pancakes evenly without burning.
  • Experiment with different cheese types to vary flavor and texture.
