# What You'll Need:

02 - 2 tbsp granulated sugar
03 - 1¼ tsp baking powder
04 - ¼ tsp baking soda
05 - ¼ tsp salt
06 - 1 large egg
07 - 1 cup milk
08 - 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter
09 - 1 tsp vanilla extract

10 - ½ cup fresh berries
11 - ½ banana, sliced
12 - ½ cup Greek yogurt or whipped cream
13 - 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
14 - 1 tbsp chocolate chips
→ Savory Toppings
15 - 2 scrambled eggs
16 - ¼ cup cooked bacon or breakfast sausage, chopped
17 - ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
18 - ¼ avocado, sliced
19 - 2 tbsp salsa or hot sauce
# How-To Steps:
01 - In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution.
02 - In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk the egg, milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
03 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined; ensure the batter remains slightly lumpy to avoid toughness.
04 - Place a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter or oil.
05 - Pour approximately ¼ cup of batter per pancake into the skillet, using a spoon to shape it into an oval suitable for folding. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
06 - Let the pancakes cool for 1 minute to improve handling. Gently fold each oval into a taco shape and fill immediately with your choice of sweet or savory toppings.
# Expert Advice:

- It turns a standard stack of flapjacks into an interactive, build your own adventure meal.
02 -
- Letting the batter rest for five minutes before cooking makes the texture significantly softer.
- Cooking the pancakes as ovals rather than circles makes folding them without tearing much easier.
