Ingredients
Ingredients
Green Onion
1 bunch (chopped)
Grated Cheese
1 cup (can substitute with soy cheese)
Pancake Mix
2 cups (dry mix without added liquids)
Milk/Water
1.25 cups (add slightly more than required for batter)
Instructions
1
Prepare your favorite pancake mix according to the manufacturer's instructions, but omit any liquids specified.
2
In a mixing bowl, combine the dry pancake mix with the chopped green onions and grated cheese.
3
Gradually add about 1.25 cups of milk or water to the mixture, stirring just until all the dry ingredients are moistened. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the pancakes dense. A thick, lumpy batter is ideal.
4
Preheat a non-stick or lightly oiled frying pan over medium-low heat.
5
Using a 1/3 cup measure, scoop the batter into the pan for each pancake, leaving space between them.
6
Cook the pancakes for a few minutes on each side, flipping them when you see a few bubbles forming on the surface. Perform an 'edge check' for golden-brown color to determine when to flip.
7
Once cooked through, remove from the pan and keep warm.
8
Serve immediately with your choice of toppings and enjoy!
