Make use of leftover champagne by turning it into a delightful breakfast treat with these leftover champagne pancakes. Fluffy and light, these pancakes are infused with the subtle flavors of champagne, giving them a unique twist.

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

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the leftover champagne, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. 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.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or butter.
  5. 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.
  6. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the surface as needed.
  8. Serve the leftover champagne pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
  9. Enjoy a luxurious breakfast or brunch with these fluffy and flavorful pancakes!
