Pancakes are loved by just about everyone; whether enjoyed for breakfast, or just about whenever you get the craving. How you eat your pancakes is only limited by your own imagination. So if you like them but are looking to try something new, then this ham and cheese pancake recipe should greatly please your taste buds!
Making pancake batter is relatively simple so it will be part of this ham and cheese pancake recipe. You will need to gather a few kitchen tools before getting started on the cooking. You will need a mixing bowl, skillet or frying pan, a wooden spoon and a large spatula.
A homemade batter is really simple, here is what you need to gather: 135g of self-rising flour, sift it first, 125ml of milk, which should be cold, 1 egg, a pinch of salt, 1 cup of coarsely chopped ham and half a cup, (or more!), of shredded cheese of your choice. Dill can also be added which is nice.
To achieve the best results, your needs to be warmed up before you can cook on it. Make sure to let it reach and stay at a temperature of 375F for at least ten minutes before cooking. If the skillet does not have a non-stick surface, spray it lightly with some flavorless cooking spray, or give it a little vegetable oil rub.
Be sure you possess everything you need; then get started. Place the flour, milk, egg and salt in your bowl. Combine all of those nicely, until your batter has a smooth texture to it. You can then incorporate the ham and the cheese and fold everything in nicely.
It is best if you let the batter rest for about 5 minutes before cooking it. Pour into even amounts, separated by enough space to let them rise properly. When you start noticing little bubbles popping at the surface, and the sides are cooked, you are ready for the flip.
Turn all your pancakes around as quickly as possible. They will take about half the time on the second side, so stay close by. When they are equally browned on both sides, you are ready to serve. Pancakes are better if served immediately. Soggy pancakes won’t be as popular!
This ham and cheese pancake recipe is delicious and provides a great alternative to the standard one. If you would like to spice things up even more, add a touch of cayenne pepper. Eat as is or with your favorite toppings.
