*Ingredients*: – 150g of flour – 1 teaspoon of baking powder (chemical yeast) – 2 eggs – 200ml of milk – 100g of cooked ham (diced) – 100g of grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend) – Salt and pepper to taste – 1 tablespoon of olive oil or melted butter for cooking – Optional: fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor

*Instructions*:
1. *Make the pancake batter*: – In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt together. – In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until combined. – Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until you get a smooth batter.
2. *Add ham and cheese*: – Fold in the diced ham and grated cheese into the batter. If you’re using herbs, you can add them at this point too for extra flavor.
3. *Cook the pancakes*: – Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil or melted butter. – Pour a small amount of the batter onto the pan (about 1/4 cup per pancake) and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles start to form on the surface. – Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. *Serve*: – Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate. You can serve them with a little extra cheese on top or drizzle with a little sour cream or a simple salad on the side.
