A little bit fancy, yet ridiculously easy to make, these savory pancakes perfectly combine salty, savory, and sweet with the peppery bite of fresh arugula.

Ingredients

Basic Batter

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 1/3 cup melted butter (about 75 grams)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder

Prosciutto, Apple, & Arugula variation

  • 1.75 oz prosciutto chopped, plus extra to serve
  • 1 medium apple diced, plus extra to serve
  • 2 cups arugula loosely packed
  • maple syrup to serve (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat a griddle (if using) or skillet over medium heat.
  • Combine flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Add the eggs, milk, and melted butter and mix thoroughly until well combined.
  • Stir in baking powder, taking care to get it thoroughly mixed into the batter. Let the batter stand for 5 minutes.
  • Add the chopped prosciutto and apple to the basic batter, stirring until just combined.
  • Pour the batter onto the preheated griddle/pan (see note below about adding butter); I like to use about 1/2 cup of batter per pancake, but you can go bigger or smaller depending on your personal preferences. Cook until the bottom is browned, the edges are looking solid, and bubbles are coming up through the center of the pancake. Flip over and cook for an additional 2 minutes or so, then set aside to cool.
  • Serve with extra prosciutto and apple and a handful of arugula, then top off with a little maple syrup.

Notes

Extra butter - I use a well-seasoned griddle to make my pancakes and I've never needed any extra butter to keep the pancakes from sticking.  That being said, if you're using a skillet or frying pan, you may want to have a little extra butter handy to add to the pan in order to keep the batter from sticking as it cooks.
