  • Flavor-packed: Fresh herbs add a unique and refreshing taste.
  • Simple ingredients: Made with pantry staples you likely already have.
  • Quick to prepare: Perfect for a speedy yet impressive brunch.
  • Customizable: Adapt the herbs and toppings to your liking.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as chives, parsley, or dill)
  • Butter or oil for cooking
  • 4 eggs (for topping)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Savory Herb Pancakes

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the milk and eggs together. Gradually add the melted butter, mixing until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Fold in the chopped fresh herbs until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil to coat the surface.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Keep warm while you cook the remaining pancakes.
  8. For the topping, poach or fry the eggs to your preference. Season with salt and pepper.
  9. Serve the pancakes topped with the eggs and additional fresh herbs if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your baking powder is fresh for maximum fluffiness.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for easy flipping and optimal browning.
  • Adjust the amount of herbs based on your preference; stronger flavors like dill or cilantro can be used sparingly.
  • If batter sits too long, give it a gentle stir before cooking.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute whole wheat flour for a heartier pancake.
  • Add grated cheese, such as feta or cheddar, to the batter for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Incorporate finely chopped vegetables like spinach or bell peppers into the batter.
  • Experiment with different herbs like basil or tarragon for varied flavor profiles.

What to Serve With It

  • A side of crispy bacon or sausage for a savory contrast.
  • A light salad with vinaigrette to balance the richness of the pancakes.
  • Fresh fruit or a fruit compote for a touch of sweetness.
  • Sliced avocado or guacamole for a creamy addition.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or on a skillet over low heat until warmed through. For longer storage, freeze the pancakes with parchment paper between layers for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen in a toaster or oven.
