FAQ:
Can I make these pancakes gluten-free? Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend to make these pancakes gluten-free. Ensure that the baking powder you use is also gluten-free.
Can I make the batter ahead of time? While it’s best to make the batter fresh, you can prepare it ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good stir before cooking.
Can I use a different type of cheese? Absolutely! Feel free to use any cheese that melts well, such as mozzarella, goat cheese, or feta. Experiment with different combinations for unique flavors.
How do I make the pancakes fluffier? To make fluffier pancakes, ensure that the batter is not overmixed, as overmixing can cause the pancakes to be dense. Also, using room-temperature ingredients will help create a lighter texture.
Can I make these pancakes vegan? Yes, you can replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water) and use a plant-based milk, like almond or oat milk, to make the pancakes vegan. You can also omit the cheese or use a dairy-free alternative.
