Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1.25 cups Whole milk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or butter (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are okay.

Step 4

Fold in the shredded Cheddar cheese and chopped chives (if using) until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 5

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil or butter.

Step 6

Scoop about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them out to allow room for spreading.

Step 7

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 8

Remove the cooked pancakes from the skillet and keep warm under a clean kitchen towel or in a low-temperature oven while cooking the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve the cheddar pancakes warm as is or with a dollop of sour cream, additional chopped chives, or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.
