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

Bacon, Cheddar, & Chives

  • 3/4 cup cheddar cheese grated (about 85 g), plus some to serve
  • 1/4 cup chives chopped (or scallion greens), plus some to serve
  • 6 strips bacon finely chopped
  • sour cream to serve

Instructions

  • Cook the chopped bacon in a skillet until crispy. Drain the fat and set the bacon aside.
  • 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 cheese, cooked bacon, and chives into the 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.
  • Garnish with sour cream, and additional cheese and chives.

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.
