A comforting and flavorful savory pancake recipe perfect for a special Father’s Day breakfast or weekend brunch. These pancakes combine sharp cheddar, scallions, and fresh herbs for a tender, fluffy, and savory treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk, whole or 2%
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (about 100g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley or chives), chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. In another bowl, beat the eggs until slightly frothy. Add the milk and melted butter, whisking until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; the batter will be a bit lumpy.
  4. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, sliced scallions, garlic powder, and fresh herbs if using.
  5. Preheat a nonstick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. Test readiness by dropping a few drops of water on the surface; if they sizzle and evaporate, it’s ready.
  6. Spoon about ¼ cup (60ml) batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  7. Flip carefully and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a baking sheet in a 200°F (90°C) oven to keep warm while cooking the remaining batter.
  9. Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, hot sauce, crispy bacon, or sausage.

Notes

Use freshly shredded cheddar cheese for best texture. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep pancakes tender and fluffy. Adjust batter consistency with milk or flour as needed. Keep pancakes warm in a low oven while cooking the batch. Batter can be prepared up to 12 hours ahead and refrigerated. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use plant-based milk and dairy-free cheese alternatives.
