1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 -
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

→ Suggested Toppings
10 -
Maple syrup
11 -
Whipped cream
# Instructions:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and fine sea salt until well combined.
02 -
In a separate medium bowl, combine the brewed coffee, large egg, melted unsalted butter, and minced garlic. Whisk until fully incorporated.
03 -
Gradually pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until just combined. A few small lumps are acceptable; avoid overmixing, as this can result in tough pancakes.
04 -
Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, lightly grease the cooking surface with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
05 -
Pour approximately 60 ml (1/4 cup) of batter per pancake onto the preheated griddle. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until numerous bubbles appear on the surface and the edges begin to set. Carefully flip each pancake and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.
06 -
Serve the coffee pancakes immediately while warm. Garnish with maple syrup, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon as desired. Sautéed garlic is also an option if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
For exceptionally fluffy pancakes, it is crucial not to overmix the batter. A few small lumps are perfectly acceptable.
02 -
Adjust the intensity of the coffee flavor to your preference; a dark roast or espresso can be used for a stronger profile.
03 -
Consider experimenting with additional toppings such as chocolate chips, fresh blueberries, or chopped nuts for enhanced flavor.
04 -
For a nuttier flavor, substitute whole wheat flour. A gluten-free flour blend can be used as an alternative for a gluten-free option.
05 -
Honey or coconut sugar can be used in place of granulated sugar to achieve a different sweetness profile.
06 -
To prepare a dairy-free version, replace the melted butter with an equal amount of coconut oil and utilize a non-dairy milk alternative (e.g., almond, soy, or oat milk). Grease the griddle with vegetable oil or cooking spray instead of butter.
07 -
While optional, the inclusion of minced garlic is highly recommended to introduce an unexpected depth of savory flavor to the pancakes.
