Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Savory Tomato Pancake Stack

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and olive oil until well blended.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Fold in the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped basil, seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or cooking spray.
6. 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 look set.
7. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
8. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
9. To serve, stack the pancakes on a plate, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and add a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your skillet is properly heated before adding the batter for even cooking.
• Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the pancakes fluffy.
• Feel free to adjust the amount of basil and tomatoes based on your flavor preference.

Easy Variations

• Add shredded cheese, such as feta or mozzarella, to the batter for a cheesy twist.
• Substitute diced bell peppers or spinach for a different veggie flavor.
• Top with a poached egg for an extra protein boost.

What to Serve With It

• A side of crispy bacon or sausage links for a heartier meal.
• A light salad with mixed greens and a vinaigrette.
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
