Instructions

Make the Pancake Batter:

  1. Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the milk and melted butter.
  3. Mix the Batter: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth. Let it rest for 5 minutes.

Prepare the Filling:

  1. Cook the Filling: If using a cooked filling (meat, mushrooms, or spinach), sauté in a pan with a little oil until fully cooked. Set aside.
  2. Mix Cheese Fillings: If using cheese or cream cheese-based fillings, mix them together in a small bowl.

Cook the Pancakes:

  1. Heat a Pan: Lightly grease a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Pour the Batter: Spoon about ¼ cup of batter into the pan and spread it into a thin, round pancake.
  3. Add the Filling: Once the pancake starts setting (about 1 minute), spoon a small amount of your chosen filling onto one half of the pancake.
  4. Fold and Cook: Carefully fold the pancake over the filling, pressing gently. Cook for another 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. Repeat: Continue with the remaining batter and filling.
