Ingredients

Scale

Pancake Batter Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 cup Milk (or plant-based milk for vegan version)
  • 1 Egg (or flax egg for vegan version)
  • 2 tablespoons Melted butter or oil

Filling Options

  • Fresh fruit (e.g., berries, sliced bananas)
  • Yogurt or Greek yogurt
  • Nutella or almond butter
  • Scrambled eggs
  • Bacon or crispy bacon strips
  • Cheddar cheese or other cheeses
  • Whipped cream
  • Maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, and sugar. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the pancakes light and tender.
  2. Cook Thin Pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour a small ladle of batter, spreading it slightly to create thin pancakes that are easy to fold without cracking. Cook until golden on one side, then flip and cook the other side until done.
  3. Fold and Fill: Remove the cooked pancakes from the heat. While still warm, fold each pancake in half or gently roll it, then fill with your choice of sweet or savory fillings such as fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, or cheese.
  4. Serve Immediately: Serve the Pancake Tacos fresh, topped with desired garnishes like powdered sugar, cinnamon, fresh herbs, or sour cream. Enjoy warm for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use a small ladle to keep pancake sizes consistent and easy to fold.
  • A quality non-stick pan helps prevent tearing when folding pancakes.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain fluffiness.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven while preparing the batch.
  • Experiment with different fillings to create your favorite flavor combinations.
  • Store leftover pancakes and fillings separately in airtight containers refrigerated up to two days.
  • Freeze cooked pancakes flat between parchment paper sheets for up to one month.
  • Reheat gently before assembling to avoid sogginess.
