Fluffy Pancakes with Ham & Green Onions

Savory, fluffy, and packed with smoky ham and fresh green onions—perfect for breakfast or brunch!

Ingredients (serves 2–3):

For the Pancakes:

• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour

• 1 tbsp sugar

• 1 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp baking soda

• ¼ tsp salt

• ¾ cup (180ml) buttermilk (*or milk + 1 tsp vinegar*)

• 1 large egg

• 2 tbsp melted butter (or oil)

• ½ cup (60g) diced ham

• ¼ cup (25g) chopped green onions

• 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)

For Serving (optional):

• Fried or poached egg

• Extra green onions

• Sriracha or maple syrup

Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:

   • Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder in a bowl.

2. Combine Wet Ingredients:

   • In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.

3. Make the Batter:

   • Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir just until combined (lumps are okay!).

   • Fold in diced ham and green onions.

4. Cook the Pancakes:

   • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease.

   • Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top (~2–3 mins), then flip and cook another 1–2 mins.

5. Serve Hot:

   • Stack and top with a runny egg, extra green onions, or a drizzle of sriracha/maple syrup for sweet-savory contrast.

Tips:

🔥 Extra Fluffy: Let the batter rest for 5 mins before cooking.
🧀 Cheesy Twist: Add shredded cheddar to the batter.
🥓 Substitutions: Swap ham for crispy bacon or sautéed mushrooms.
