How to Make Decadent Stack of Pancakes
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk the milk and egg together until smooth. Stir in the melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. A few lumps are okay; do not overmix.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- 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.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- 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.
- 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.
