Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 tbsp. granulated sugar
- 1 c. plus 2 tbsp. milk
- 1/4 c. sour cream
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp. melted butter, plus more for pan
- 1 c. shredded cheddar
- 1 c. shredded mozzarella
- 1/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan
- Coarsely ground black pepper

Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt some butter. Pour a scant â…“ cup of pancake batter into the skillet twice, forming two pancakes.
- When bubbles start appearing (about 3-4 minutes), flip one pancake gently and top it with cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, and black pepper before flipping the second pancake.
- Once both pancakes are cooked until golden brown and cheese is melty (about another 3 minutes), stack one cheesy pancake atop another plain pancake. Spread mayonnaise on top of this stack before flipping it again.
