Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/2 cup grated cheese (such as cheddar or mozzarella)
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• Maple syrup for drizzling

How to Make Decadent Stack of Pancakes

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In another bowl, whisk the milk and egg together until smooth. Stir in the melted butter.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. A few lumps are okay; do not overmix.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Once cooked, remove the pancakes from the skillet and layer them on a plate. Between each layer, sprinkle a little grated cheese and sliced strawberries.
8. Top the stack with additional strawberries, a generous drizzle of maple syrup, and a final sprinkle of cheese if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your baking powder is fresh for maximum fluffiness.
• Use a non-stick skillet for easy flipping and to prevent sticking.
• Keep pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you cook the remaining batter.
• Feel free to adjust the amount of cheese based on your personal preference.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the strawberries with other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or bananas.
• Use flavored cheeses such as pepper jack for a spicy twist.
• Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the batter for extra flavor.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory addition.
• A side of yogurt or whipped cream for added creaminess.
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
