Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup grated cheese (Cheddar or Gouda)
- 1 cup sautéed onions
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and melted butter until combined.
- Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in cooked beef, sautéed onions, and cheese if desired.
- Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium-low heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto skillet, cooking until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown.
- Repeat with remaining batter, keeping pancakes warm in a low oven as needed.
- Serve warm topped with maple syrup or choice of toppings.
Notes
Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes for fluffier pancakes. Experiment with toppings like sour cream, fried eggs, or avocado slices.
