Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped chives
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter, for cooking

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In another bowl, beat the milk and eggs together until well combined. Slowly add the melted butter while whisking to incorporate.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; some lumps are okay.

Step 4

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add about 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or butter.

Step 6

Once the skillet is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 9

Serve the cheese pancakes hot, with a dollop of sour cream or alongside crispy bacon, if desired.
