Description
A delightful fusion of savory smash burgers and fluffy pancakes, making for a unique brunch experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20) or substitute with ground turkey or plant-based alternatives
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 2 large eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan option)
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (shiitake or cremini)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh herbs (parsley or chives)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (for cooking)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Crispy bacon, shredded cheese, or fried eggs (optional toppings)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients for an efficient cooking process.
- Sauté The Mushrooms: Melt a tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat, then add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Sauté until golden and fragrant (about 5-7 minutes). Set aside.
- Mix Your Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine pancake mix, eggs, and desired seasonings/herbs. Stir until just combined.
- Incorporate The Goodness: Gently fold in the sautéed mushrooms and garlic into the batter.
- Cook The Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top (2-3 minutes), flip, and cook until golden brown (another 2-3 minutes).
- Serve: Stack pancakes and top with optional toppings like crispy bacon, cheese, or a fried egg, and drizzle with maple syrup.
Notes
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes for fluffier pancakes. Avoid overmixing for the best texture.
