🥞 Golden Christmas Pancakes
Soft, fluffy, and perfectly golden — topped like a festive holiday treat!
🧾 Ingredients (Serves 4)
For the pancakes:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 large eggs
1¾ cups milk
¼ cup melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional festive add-ins:
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
Zest of 1 orange
Toppings:
Powdered sugar (for “snow” effect ❄️)
Fresh strawberries or raspberries
Whipped cream
Maple syrup
Chocolate chips (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
Mix dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices (if using).
Mix wet ingredients
In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
Combine
Pour wet ingredients into dry and gently mix. Do not overmix — a few lumps are fine.
Cook
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Lightly butter the pan.
Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake.
Cook until bubbles form (about 2–3 minutes), flip, and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden.
Decorate for Christmas 🎄
Stack pancakes, dust with powdered sugar, add berries and whipped cream.
Drizzle warm maple syrup on top.
✨ Extra Festive Idea
Use a cookie cutter (star or tree shape) to cut pancakes after cooking for a fun Christmas breakfast!
If you’d like, I can also give you a chocolate version or red velvet Christmas pancakes 🎅✨
