It all starts with my baking mix and the rest is up to your imagination. Swap the mushrooms for sun-dried tomatoes or forgo the goat cheese and melt Cheddar into the batter for oozy goodness. If breakfast is a big, fun, and boisterous tradition at your campsite, you can even host a “pancake bar” and offer a variety of add-ins (both sweet and savory) so friends can fill and flip their own.
Ingredients
For the filling
- 4 medium cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
- 4 scallions (spring onions), finely chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 scant tbsp chopped fresh thyme
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
For the Pancakes
- 2 cups (240 g) Multipurpose Baking Mix (recipe )
- 1½ cups (350 ml) milk
- 2 large eggs
- Butter and goat cheese, to serve
Instructions
To make the filling, in a small bowl, combine the mushrooms, scallions, oil, thyme, salt, and pepper and set aside.
To make the pancakes, in a large bowl, whisk the baking mix with the milk and eggs until well blended.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt a pat of butter, swirling to coat the surface. Ladle ¼ cup (60 ml) batter at a time into the skillet. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the mushroom and scallion mixture over the batter and lightly press it into the pancake as it cooks. Cook until the edges begin to set, about 3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown and completely set, about 2 minutes more.
Serve with a generous pat of butter and a dollop of goat cheese on top.
