Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Fillings
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup grape jelly or your preferred flavor
Instructions
- Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Heat the Griddle or Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Allow the batter to spread naturally into a round shape.
- Add the Fillings: When bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges appear set, add a swirl of peanut butter followed by a swirl of jelly onto each pancake while they cook on the first side. Use a small spoon or knife to gently spread the fillings without breaking the pancake.
- Flip the Pancakes: Carefully flip the pancakes to cook the other side, about 1 to 2 minutes more, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Stack the pancakes on plates and serve immediately for a warm, comforting breakfast treat.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for easier swirling; chunky peanut butter may break the pancake batter.
- Adjust jelly type and quantity to your taste preference.
- For a healthier option, substitute whole wheat flour or reduce sugar.
- Consider adding fresh fruit like sliced bananas or strawberries as a topping.
- Ensure the skillet temperature is medium to prevent burning and undercooking.
