Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1.5 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 6 ounce deli ham (finely diced)
- 1 cup Gouda cheese (shredded)
- 2 cup mixed green salad
- 2 tablespoon vinaigrette dressing (bottled)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, eggs, milk, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter into the skillet, tilting to coat the bottom evenly, forming a thin pancake.
- Immediately sprinkle about 1/4 of the diced deli ham and 1/4 cup of the shredded Gouda cheese over the wet batter.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges are set and the bottom is golden brown. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the pancake is cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter and fillings, making 4 pannenkoeken in total.
- While pancakes cook, toss mixed green salad with bottled vinaigrette dressing in a small bowl.
- Serve the warm pannenkoeken immediately alongside the fresh mixed green salad.
Notes
Pannenkoeken are meant to be thin. Adjust batter quantity for each pancake to ensure they are thin enough to cook quickly. You can vary the fillings with other quick-cooking ingredients like sliced mushrooms or cooked spinach.
