Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cups diced green onions ((from ~5-10 scallions, depending on their size, see notes))
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese ((or use more if you like things cheesy!))
  • 1.5 cups all purpose flour ((or white whole wheat flour))
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 cups milk ((any kind - 1%, 2%, whole, or vegan))
  • 1 egg (, lightly beaten)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (, melted)
  • Non-stick spray for cooking
  • 1/4 cup cup sour cream
  • Juice of 1/4 lime ((about 1 teaspoon))
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Instruction

  • In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil and add the diced scallions. Stir-fry over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, or until they reduce in size and start to brown. 
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. 
  • In a medium bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and beaten egg, and stir until almost combined. 
  • Add the wet ingredients (milk mixture) to the dry ingredients (flour mixture) and stir until almost combined. Add the chopped onions and the shredded cheese to the pancake mix in the bowl and stir until just combined - do not over-mix.
  • Cook the pancakes like you would cook regular pancakes: Place about 1/4 cup of batter on a greased pan, and cook over medium heat for 2-4 minutes on each side, until the top starts bubbling and the bottom is golden brown. Flip, and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked 
  • Make the lime crema: Combine the sour cream, lime juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Serve over the pancakes, garnishing with chopped scallion and shredded cheese.
