Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup leftover champagne
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cooking spray or additional butter for greasing the pan
Directions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the leftover champagne, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense pancakes.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or butter.
- For each pancake, pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the surface as needed.
- Serve the leftover champagne pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
- Enjoy a luxurious breakfast or brunch with these fluffy and flavorful pancakes!
