Base Ingredients

Pico de Gallo Topping

Optional Garnishes

Method

Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Whisk together until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted unsalted butter until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

  5. 5

    Cook the Base

    Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the preheated skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Pico de Gallo Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño pepper (removing seeds if desired) into small pieces.

  2. 7

    Mix Pico de Gallo

    In a bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and let sit for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Assembly and Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Locale Pico

    Serve the pancakes hot, topped generously with the pico de gallo. Add optional garnishes such as slices of avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and shredded cheese if desired.
