Instructions
- Prepare the Pancake Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine pancake mix (or flour), egg, and milk. Stir until smooth. Add vanilla extract for extra flavor if desired.
- Cook Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly with butter or oil.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Make the Feta Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mash feta cheese with a fork. Add milk gradually while stirring until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
- Assemble Your Pancake Bonanza:
- Serve pancakes warm. Allow everyone to customize their stack with syrup, peanut butter, fresh fruit, crumbled bacon, or chocolate chips. Drizzle the feta sauce on top for a savory twist!
