Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter, plus extra for cooking
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• Maple syrup, for drizzling

How to Make Cheesy Breakfast Pancake Stack

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
3. Fold in 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese and half of the chopped green onions into the batter.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
6. As you stack the pancakes, sprinkle a little extra cheese between each layer.
7. Once stacked, drizzle with maple syrup and garnish with the remaining green onions.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your skillet is hot enough before adding the batter to get that perfect golden crust.
• Don’t overmix the batter; it’s okay if it’s a bit lumpy.
• Adjust the amount of cheese based on your preference for cheesiness.

Easy Variations

• For a spicy kick, add some diced jalapeños to the batter.
• Replace cheddar with your favorite cheese, like pepper jack or gouda, for a different flavor profile.
• Serve with crispy bacon or sausage for added protein.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
• A dollop of Greek yogurt for some tanginess.
• Crispy bacon or sausage links for a hearty addition.
