🧀 Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1½ cups milk
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 1 cup diced ham
• 1½ cups shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
• 2 tbsp chopped green onions
• 1 tbsp butter or oil for cooking

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
2. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and melted butter.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Don’t overmix.
4. Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat.
5. Pour about ¼ cup batter into the skillet for each pancake.
6. Sprinkle some diced ham and shredded cheese over the pancake while the top is still wet.
7. Add a little more batter over the filling if desired, then cook until bubbles appear and the bottom is golden.
8. Carefully flip and cook until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
9. Repeat with the remaining batter, ham, and cheese.
10. Stack the pancakes while warm and sprinkle generously with chopped green onions.
11. Serve immediately while the cheese is hot and gooey.

💡 Tip

For an extra cheesy finish, place the completed stack in a warm oven for 3–5 minutes so the cheese melts beautifully between the layers.
