Step 1: Make the Pancake Batter

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter—it’s okay if it’s slightly lumpy. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while you heat up your skillet.

Step 2: Cook the Pancakes

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter. Using a ¼-cup measuring cup, pour the pancake batter onto the skillet to form small, round pancakes. You want these pancakes to be about 4-5 inches in diameter—just the right size to fold into taco shells. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.

Step 3: Prepare the Fillings

While your pancakes are cooking, prepare the fillings. For savory pancake tacos, scramble the eggs in a skillet until fully cooked, then set aside. Cook the bacon until crispy and crumble it into bite-sized pieces. Set out the shredded cheese, diced avocado, salsa, and any other savory toppings. For sweet pancake tacos, wash and slice the berries, prepare the whipped cream, and set out Nutella, peanut butter, or maple syrup for spreading.

Step 4: Assemble the Pancake Tacos

Once your pancakes and fillings are ready, it’s time to assemble your pancake tacos! Lay a pancake flat and gently fold it like a taco shell. For savory tacos, add a spoonful of scrambled eggs, a sprinkle of crumbled bacon, and a handful of shredded cheese. You can also add diced avocado, salsa, and fresh cilantro for extra flavor. For sweet tacos, spread a layer of Nutella or peanut butter inside the pancake, then add fresh berries, banana slices, and a dollop of whipped cream. Drizzle with maple syrup or honey if desired.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve your pancake tacos immediately while they’re still warm. They’re best enjoyed fresh, and the combination of textures and flavors makes each bite a treat! Feel free to experiment with different combinations of fillings, and let everyone customize their own pancake taco creations.
