Ingredients for Smash Burger Pancakes Unique Twist

The ingredients for this delicious Smash Burger Pancakes Unique Twist come together to create a mouthwatering dish that’s sure to please. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Egg: One egg adds richness to the pancakes. Separating the yolk and white gives the batter an airy lift.
  • Plain flour: This is the base for your pancakes. Opt for gluten-free flour if you prefer a gluten-free option.
  • Baking powder: The magic ingredient that will help your pancakes puff up deliciously.
  • Caster sugar: This adds just a hint of sweetness to balance the savory elements. Brown sugar can be an excellent alternative if you want a deeper flavor.
  • Milk: A splash of milk moistens the batter. Unsweetened almond or oat milk works wonders as substitutes.
  • Neutral-tasting oil: This helps with cooking and prevents sticking. You can use vegetable oil or melted butter if you like a little extra flavor.
  • Beef mince: Use minced beef with around 15% fat for juicy patties. Ground chicken or turkey offers a lighter variation.
  • American cheese or mild cheddar: Melty cheese is a must! Choose your preferred cheese for an ooey-gooey bite.
  • Burger sauce: This dressing adds zest and personality to your stack. Feel free to whip up your homemade version or use your favorite bottled variety.
  • Sliced gherkins: These tangy slices cut through the richness of the dish. You could swap them for other pickled veggies if gherkins aren’t your jam.

How to Make Smash Burger Pancakes Unique Twist

Creating this Smash Burger Pancakes Unique Twist is easy, fun, and oh-so-rewarding. Let’s dive into the steps together, ensuring that each moment is filled with tasty excitement!

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

Start by separating the egg. Whip the egg white until soft peaks form. This will help your pancakes be fluffy!

In a separate bowl, mix together the egg yolk, plain flour, baking powder, and caster sugar. Slowly whisk in the milk until the batter is smooth.

Now, gently fold in the whipped egg white. Be careful not to deflate your beautiful batter. This will result in a light and airy pancake!

Step 2: Cook the Pancakes

Heat half the oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Take a quarter of the pancake batter and spoon it into the pan, using the back of a spoon to shape it into a small round.

Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side. You want them golden and set at the edges. Now, keep them warm in a low oven while you cook the next batch!

Step 3: Create the Beef Patties

Once the pancakes are cooked, crank up the heat to high and add the remaining oil to the same pan. Divide the beef mince into two equal portions.

In the hot pan, place one portion and press firmly with your spatula to flatten it into a thin patty. Cook for 2-3 minutes until it’s browned and crisped at the edges.

Flip it over and add a slice of cheese on top. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is gooey and melted. Repeat the process with the second beef portion.

Step 4: Assemble Your Stack

Now for the fun part! Take a pancake and layer it with a cheesy beef patty. Drizzle burger sauce over the patty and add sliced gherkins on top.

Finish with another pancake on top and voilà! You’ve created a masterpiece of flavors. Keep assembling until all servings are stacked beautifully.

Serve them immediately to enjoy the perfect texture and flavor!

Tips for Success

  • Whip your egg whites to medium peaks for an even fluffier pancake.
  • Don’t rush the cooking; medium heat allows the pancakes to cook through without burning.
  • Experiment with your favorite herbs or spices added to the beef for extra flavor!
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven while you finish the beef patties.
  • Get creative with toppings – think bacon or avocado for added delight!

Equipment Needed

  • Non-stick frying pan: Essential for cooking the pancakes and beef patties without sticking. A well-seasoned cast iron skillet works well too.
  • Electric whisk: Perfect for whipping egg whites. A manual whisk can do the job, but it’ll take some elbow grease!
  • Spatula: Use a flat spatula for flipping those patties and pancakes with ease.
  • Mixing bowls: Track down a few for combining ingredients and making that beautiful batter.

Variations

  • For a spicy kick, add chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
  • Swap out the beef for grilled chicken for a lighter version without losing flavor.
  • Use different cheeses like pepper jack or gouda to elevate the taste profile.
  • Add fresh herbs like chives or cilantro to the pancake batter for a burst of freshness.
  • For a vegetarian option, use black bean patties or even a hearty veggie burger.

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair your Smash Burger Pancakes Unique Twist with crispy sweet potato fries for a delightful crunch.
  • A fresh garden salad with a zesty vinaigrette complements the savory flavors perfectly.
  • Serve with chilled lemonade or a refreshing iced tea for a balanced meal.
  • For presentation, stack the pancakes high and garnish with extra gherkins on the side.
