Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for greasing)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fillings (Optional)
- Scrambled eggs
- Crispy bacon or sausage
- Fresh berries
- Whipped cream
- Nutella
- Peanut butter
- Yogurt
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Preheat Cooking Surface: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Shape Pancake Tacos: Let the pancakes cool slightly to make them pliable. Fold each pancake gently into a taco shape without breaking.
- Fill and Serve: Add your favorite sweet or savory fillings such as scrambled eggs, bacon, berries, or Nutella. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use smaller pancakes for easier folding into taco shapes.
- For savory versions, omit vanilla extract and reduce sugar in the batter.
- Perfect for brunch buffets or interactive make-your-own taco bars for kids.
- Leftover pancakes can be frozen and reheated as needed.
