Method

Pancetta Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pancetta

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove pancetta from skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet with the pancetta fat, add the chopped red onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Pancake Batter

  1. 3

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  2. 4

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the egg and then add the Belgian beer. Mix until well combined.

  3. 5

    Combine Both Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the pancakes tough.

  4. 6

    Add Cheese and Vegetables

    Fold in the crumbled blue cheese, sautéed vegetables, and cooked pancetta to the batter. Season with black pepper to taste.

  5. 7

    Cook the Pancakes

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, approximately 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

  6. 8

    Serve

    Serve the pancakes warm, garnished with additional crumbled blue cheese and a drizzle of your favorite maple syrup if desired.
