# What You Need:
→ Pancake Batter
01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
06 - 3/4 cup milk
07 - 1 large egg
08 - 2 tablespoons melted butter
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Sweet Fillings
10 - 1 cup sliced strawberries
11 - 1/2 cup blueberries
12 - 1 ripe banana, sliced
13 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
14 - 1/4 cup granola
15 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup
→ Savory Fillings
16 - 2 scrambled eggs
17 - 1/4 cup cooked bacon or turkey bacon, crumbled
18 - 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
19 - 1/4 cup salsa
# How To Make It:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until completely smooth.
03 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
04 - Place a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface if necessary to prevent sticking.
05 - Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges appear set, approximately 2 minutes. Flip and continue cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.
06 - Remove the cooked pancakes from the griddle and allow them to cool slightly so they become pliable. Gently fold each pancake into a taco shape.
07 - Stuff the folded pancakes with your chosen sweet or savory fillings. Serve immediately, drizzling with extra maple syrup or salsa if desired.
