Ingredients:
-
1 large egg
-
A pinch of salt
-
1/4 cup milk
-
2 cups corn starch (or tapioca flour)
-
1 cup grated cheese (mozzarella, parmesan, or your favorite)
-
2 tablespoons melted butter
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions:
1. Preheat and prepare:
-
If baking, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
If making pancakes, lightly grease a non-stick skillet and preheat it over medium heat.
2. Mix the wet ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl:
-
Beat the egg with the milk, melted butter, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
3. Add the dry ingredients:
-
Gradually add the corn starch or tapioca flour, mixing well to avoid lumps.
-
Stir in the grated cheese and baking powder. The batter should be thick but pourable (like pancake batter). If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk.
4. Cooking options:
Option A: Skillet Pancakes
-
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet.
-
Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through.
-
Repeat with remaining batter.
Option B: Oven Baked Cheese Buns
-
Spoon batter into a greased or lined muffin tin (fill about 2/3 full).
-
Bake for 15–20 minutes or until puffed and golden.
Serving Suggestions:
-
Enjoy warm with coffee or tea.
-
Serve with butter, cream cheese, or your favorite dipping sauce.
