Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Fillings and Toppings

  • Fresh fruits (e.g., berries, mango, pineapple)
  • Whipped cream
  • Maple syrup
  • Scrambled eggs
  • Crispy bacon
  • Cheese
  • Sautéed vegetables
  • Avocado slices
  • Seasoned black beans
  • Salsa
  • Cilantro
  • Coconut cream drizzle
  • Optional garnishes: chopped nuts, fresh herbs, powdered sugar, chocolate or honey drizzle

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Start by mixing all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and melted butter. Combine both mixtures until smooth, being careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
  2. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter. Pour small rounds of batter, about 4 inches in diameter, onto the skillet to create soft but flexible pancakes. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
  3. Shape the Pancakes into Tacos: While the pancakes are still warm and pliable, gently fold each one in half or drape them over a taco holder to maintain the taco shape, making them easy and fun to fill.
  4. Add Fillings and Toppings: Fill the pancake tacos with your choice of sweet or savory ingredients. Layer fillings thoughtfully without overstuffing, then finish with sauces, syrups, or garnishes to enhance the flavors.

Notes

  • Use small-sized pancakes to help maintain the taco shape and ease of handling.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense pancakes; aiming for light and fluffy texture.
  • Warm pancakes before folding to prevent cracking and help them hold shape.
  • Layer ingredients thoughtfully to keep each bite balanced and visually neat.
  • Experiment with fillings by combining different textures and flavors for a well-rounded taste.
