# What You Need:
→ Pancake Batter
01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
06 - 3/4 cup whole milk
07 - 1 large egg
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
09 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
→ Sweet Fillings
10 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
11 - 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
12 - 1 ripe banana, sliced
13 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
14 - 1/4 cup granola
15 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
→ Savory Fillings
16 - 2 large eggs, scrambled
17 - 1/4 cup cooked bacon or turkey bacon, crumbled
18 - 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
19 - 1/4 cup salsa
# How To Make It:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk the whole milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
03 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. A few small lumps are fine—avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
04 - Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease if necessary. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the surface. Cook until bubbles rise across the surface and edges appear set, approximately 2 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.
05 - Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and allow them to cool briefly. Gently fold each pancake in half to form a taco shell shape.
06 - Stuff each pancake taco with your preferred sweet or savory fillings. Drizzle with maple syrup or salsa as desired and serve immediately.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Kids lose their minds over these, and you will secretly love them just as much.
- Sweet or savory, breakfast or brunch, they adapt to whatever you have in the fridge.
02 -
- If the batter sits too long, the leavening loses its power and your pancakes will be flat, so cook within 15 minutes of mixing.
- Folding pancakes while they are too hot causes tearing, give them a two minute rest before shaping.
03 -
- Cook pancakes on slightly lower heat than you think, the slower cook gives a tender interior and even golden color.
- A tiny smear of cream cheese inside the taco before adding sweet fillings acts like edible glue and adds richness.
