• Sweet and Savory: The combination of cheese and sweetness is a match made in heaven.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon butter for cooking pancakes

How to Make Cheesy Sweet Pancake Stacks

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
3. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Once melted and bubbling, ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
5. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat until all the batter is used.
6. Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle with warm maple syrup, and enjoy while hot!

Tips for the Best Results

• Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps will give your pancakes a better texture.
• Make sure your skillet is adequately heated before adding the batter to achieve a golden-brown color.
• For an extra gooey experience, add more cheese between the layers of pancakes.

Easy Variations

• Herbed Cheese: Mix in some finely chopped chives or parsley for a fresh flavor.
• Fruit Toppings: Add sliced bananas or berries on top for a fruity balance.
• Chocolate Drizzle: Swap the maple syrup for a chocolate sauce for a sweeter twist.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory contrast.
• Fresh fruit salad to brighten up the plate.
• A dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Storage and Reheating

These pancakes are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or in a skillet over low heat until warmed through.
