Mixing bowl
Non-stick skillet
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups cultured buttermilk
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons granulated cane sugar
- 4 oz whipped cream topping
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 lb fresh strawberries quartered
In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix with the required liquids as per package instructions. If you’re feeling adventurous, adding a splash of vanilla or a pinch of cinnamon can elevate the flavor.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour in a ladle of pancake batter, forming a large round pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip to cook the other side until golden brown. Repeat for the remaining batter.
While the pancakes are cooking, scramble some eggs in a separate pan. Add diced vegetables and cheese of your choice. Cook until the eggs are fully set but still creamy. For added flavor, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Take a pancake and place a generous spoonful of the egg mixture in the center. Fold the pancake over to form a taco shape. If desired, add toppings such as salsa, syrup, or fruit.
Plate your pancake tacos while they’re still warm. Trust me; the joy in sharing these beautifully crafted dishes with loved ones is something special. You'll find that everyone is delighted by this twist on a classic breakfast favorite.
- Choose the Right Pancake Mix: A good-quality pancake mix can genuinely make a difference in flavor and texture. Look for a mix that isn't overly sweet.
- Heat Control is Key: Maintain a consistent medium heat. Too high can burn the pancakes before they cook through, while too low can lead to rubbery textures.
- Experiment with Fillings: Don't hesitate to try different fillings! From sausage and cheese to peanut butter and banana, the sky's the limit.
- Don’t Overfill: It can be tempting, but overstuffing can lead to messy tacos. A moderate amount of filling allows easy folding and enjoyment.
- Plan Ahead: You can prepare the pancakes in advance and refrigerate or freeze them. Just reheat before assembling to save time on busy mornings.
