Savory Sage Pancakes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Sage Pancakes.

1. Step 1

   Start by gathering your ingredients and finding a cozy spot in your kitchen. In a medium bowl, combine the sifted all-purpose flour, white sugar, and salt. Give it a gentle stir to mix everything together. Now, add in the egg yolks, buttermilk, and chopped fresh sage all at once. Stir until just combined, then let the batter rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This little break allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

2. Step 2

   While the batter is resting, take a clean bowl and beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they form stiff peaks. This step is crucial for achieving that light and airy texture in your pancakes. Once the egg whites are ready, gently fold them into the sage batter, being careful not to deflate the mixture. You want to keep all that lovely air in!

3. Step 3

   Now, it’s time to heat things up! In a large skillet, warm the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet to create small pancakes. Keep an eye on them; when bubbles start to form on the surface, it’s time to flip! Cook until both sides are a lovely golden brown. If needed, add a bit more oil to the skillet for the next batch.

4. Step 4

   As the pancakes come off the skillet, sprinkle the grated Romano cheese over them while they’re still warm. This will allow the cheese to melt slightly, adding a deliciously savory touch. Serve these delightful sage pancakes warm, and enjoy the wonderful aroma and flavor that fills your kitchen!
