Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• Extra butter for cooking

How to Make Cheesy Sesame Pancakes

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter until well blended.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Fold in the shredded cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little butter to coat the surface.
6. Once the pan is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the batter.
7. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
8. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
9. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your baking powder is fresh for the best rise.
• Don’t overmix the batter; it’s okay if it’s a little lumpy.
• Adjust the heat as needed to prevent the pancakes from browning too quickly.
• For extra cheesy pancakes, feel free to add more cheese to the batter.

Easy Variations

• Add chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley to the batter for a fresh flavor.
• Substitute different types of cheese such as feta or mozzarella for a different taste.
• Mix in some cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage for a heartier pancake.
• Drizzle with honey or maple syrup for a sweet contrast to the savory flavors.

What to Serve With It

• A side of fresh fruit, such as berries or sliced bananas
• A dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt
• A sprinkle of additional sesame seeds for garnish
• Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory addition
