Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Fillings and Toppings
- 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir them together until well mixed to create a uniform dry base for the pancakes.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter together until smoothly blended.
- Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Heat Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet on the stove over medium heat and allow it to warm up properly for even cooking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, then flip carefully.
- Finish Cooking: Cook the other side until it becomes golden brown and the pancake is cooked through, then remove from skillet. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Assemble Tacos: Place a cooked pancake on a plate and spoon the cooked, crumbled breakfast sausage in the center. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, and sliced green onions.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top the filled pancake with a generous dollop of sour cream. Fold or roll the pancake to create the taco shape and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the breakfast sausage with sautéed mushrooms or seasoned tofu.
- Use sharp cheddar or pepper jack cheese for a more robust flavor.
- To keep pancakes warm before serving, place them on a baking sheet in a 200°F (90°C) oven.
- Feel free to add hot sauce or salsa for extra zest when serving.
- Leftover pancakes can be refrigerated and reheated in a toaster or microwave.
