Cheddar cheese pancakes are a delicious preparation that combines the softness and fluffiness of traditional pancakes with the intense and creamy flavor of cheddar cheese. This recipe has its roots in American cuisine, where cheddar cheese is a highly valued and widely used ingredient in various dishes. Throughout Latin America, pancakes can vary in name and form: in Mexico they are often called "hotcakes," in Argentina "savory pancakes," and in Colombia they are simply known as "pancakes," although they are generally more associated with sweet versions. However, the incorporation of cheddar cheese gives them a special touch that makes them ideal for savory meals or as a side for breakfast and brunch.
Cheddar cheese, originally from England, has been adopted in many cuisines thanks to its robust flavor and its ability to melt perfectly. The mixture with sour cream and egg yolks adds creaminess and richness to the batter, while thyme and dry mustard add an aromatic and slightly spicy nuance that enhances the final flavor. This recipe is perfect for those looking for a different and tasty variant of classic pancakes, ideal to serve alongside bacon or sausage.
