Ingredients
  • ¾ cup + 2 tbsp. (198 g) flour
  • 2 tbsp. (12 g) sugar
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 cups (473 ml) buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp. (44 ml) butter, melted
  • Butter for greasing
  • 2 cups (470 g) shredded cheese
  • 8 breakfast sausages
  • 8 small eggs
  • 4 to 8 hashbrowns
  • Bacon
  • Maple syrup for serving
  • Hollandaise sauce for serving
Method
  1. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, egg and butter. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until it’s just combined. You want a slightly lumpy batter, this avoids gluten formation and tough pancakes. Refrigerate the batter for about 30 minutes. 
  2. Swap out your cooking grids for the griddle and preheat your barbecue to medium-low using all burners. Cook the hashbrowns, sausages, and bacon on the cooking grids. Toss some butter onto the griddle, letting it melt, then and lay down ¼ cup (36 g) of batter, using the ladle or spoon to spread the pancake out in a circle. 
  3. Cook the pancakes for a few minutes on one side, until bubbles form on the top side and the bottom is lightly crisp and brown. Flip and top with your favorite shredded cheese. Cook for another minute or two, moving the finished cakes to the warming rack while you finish cooking everything else. 
  4. Once you have the pancakes done, cook the eggs as desired on the griddle, remember to add more butter to ensure that everything lifts easily when done. You can also use a nonstick pan on your side burner or over the main grids. 
  5. Assemble your hot pancake tacos by layering sausages, hash browns (you may have to cut them) bacon and then topping with a fried egg. OR if you choose to do scrambled eggs, start with the eggs on top of the already cheesy pancakes, add more cheese, bacon, sausage, hashbrown, maybe even more cheese if you want. 
  6. Place your assembled pancakes on a board for easy eating, providing dipping containers or bottles of syrup and sauce to dip or drizzle. Don’t forget some mimosas or coffee to drink too.
