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 or vegetable oil
Fillings
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup jelly or jam (any flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter. Combine wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and stir just until blended; avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. As bubbles begin to form and the edges look set, cook for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the Swirls: Gently dollop a teaspoon of peanut butter and a teaspoon of jelly onto the top of each pancake. Using a toothpick or skewer, swirl the fillings lightly into the batter for a marbled effect.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Plate the pancakes and optionally add extra peanut butter or jelly on top for more flavor. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can use any flavor of jelly or jam you prefer, such as strawberry, grape, or raspberry.
- For thinner pancakes, add a little more milk to the batter.
- If peanut allergies are a concern, substitute peanut butter with almond butter or a nut-free spread.
- Swirling the fillings gently is important to avoid sinking them completely through the batter.
- Use low heat if pancakes are browning too quickly before cooking inside.
