Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• Extra butter for cooking
• Maple syrup, for serving

How to Make Cheesy Sweet Pancake Stacks

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
3. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese gently, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter to coat the surface.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
8. Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle with maple syrup, and serve warm.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your baking powder is fresh for maximum fluffiness.
• Don’t overmix the batter; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
• Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning; medium-low is often best.
• Let the pancakes rest for a minute before serving to allow the cheese to melt further.

Easy Variations

• Cheesy Herb Pancakes: Add fresh herbs like chives or parsley to the batter for an extra flavor kick.
• Fruit-Infused: Toss in some blueberries or sliced bananas for a sweet and fruity twist.
• Chocolate Chip: Fold in chocolate chips along with the cheese for a dessert-like treat.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory contrast.
• Fresh fruit, such as strawberries or bananas, to brighten up the plate.
• A dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
