Savory Biscuit Pancakes.

I said this was a no-sugar challenge. Not a no-pancake challenge.
Phew. That was a close one.
Savory pancakes? You must think I’ve lost my mind.
But if I can’t have sweets I at least want something shaped like them.
Believe it or not, eating a savory pancake is oddly gratifying.
I was inspired to make this recipe after seeing a variation of it in french toast form on Rachel Rae’s 30-Minute Meals.
Don’t judge. I like that show. Along with almost every other show on the Food Network.
That channel is my vice.
But, I could take or leave Sandra Lee.
I’m with Holly on that one.
Yes, that’s John’s hand. Isn’t it sexy?
Immaculate cuticles, I tell you.
He should go into hand modeling. That’s what I say anyways.
I’m just glad I married someone who tolerates me photographing 97% of my meals.
What a saint this guy is.
And one heck of a honey squeezer.
Reeer.
I didn’t know what to expect with the flavor of these, but it was sensational!
Think biscuit and pancake rolled into one.
Slightly cheesey, perfectly salty, and borderline decadent.
Topped with a little butter and honey and it’s pure heaven.
A sweet and savory combination I can’t get over.
Savory Biscuit Pancakes
makes 7 hefty cakes | serves 2
Ingredients
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch salt
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon pesto
1 cup skim milk
1.5 Tablespoons butter
Method | Turn griddle to medium heat. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl [flour - parmesan]. In a separate bowl, melt the butter. Then add the milk and microwave for 30 seconds to warm the milk. Add pesto and stir, then add to dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Taste the batter to ensure the seasonings are right for you. Spoon 1/4 c measurements onto the greased griddle. Carefully flip when bubbles appear on top or the edges look dry, then cook for 1-2 minutes more. Serve with butter and honey, maple syrup or an egg. Or just plain if you wish.
Ugh ugh ugh.
Literally biscuit.
In pancake form.
I die.
Buttery.
Biscuity.
Salty.
Pillowy.
Oh-so dreamy.
What else can you top a savory pancake with? An egg, of course!
This combination was spot on.
But how could a runny egg ever be a bad thing?
Drizzle a little honey around the edge for dipping and you’ll be in a pancake dream land.
This, I know.
Enjoy!
Dana

These sound delicious! What a great twist on classic pancakes!
I agree. Wholesomely delicious. If you don’t have butter on hand (we don’t keep it in the house at all), try a little Neufchatel (or cream) cheese in its place. I also left out the pesto and it was still tasty. Must remember this recipe. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you liked these Lynn! I’m sure they would be lovely with cream cheese as well!
I love love love pancakes that taste biscuity like this! They look awesome! Especially with the egg. Yum.
Ohmygosh. With the runny egg and everything. I HAVE to make these one day. So creative, kudos! :)
Those pancakes look amazing!! And Topping pancakes with a delicious runny egg!?! Thanks for that, I never would of put 2 and 2 together! :)
I literally gasped when I saw the egg on top. Yummers! You have taken the savory pancake to a whole new level. A whole new planet.
(and pesto in a pancake? Oh my…love that idea!)
These look so good, I love the idea of pesto and parmesan cheese in a pancake. And good call on the sweet/savory combo with the honey, that sounds like perfection!
you had me from the start (just made savory scones yesterday so i’m all aboard the savory train!) but the egg just put it over the top! AWESOME!

I love biscuits and pancakes! How fun to top with an egg! :) Honey squeezing in an important quality to look for in a man!! :)

Just made this… it was amazing!!! I added an extra 1/2 teaspoon pesto cuz I looove pesto. Thanks for sharing! I love love this recipe.
The introduction of the baking of processed cereals including the creation of flour provided a more reliable source of food. Egyptian sailors carried a flat, brittle loaf of millet bread called dhourra cake, while the Romans had a biscuit called buccellum.;
